2017 Indigenous STEM Awards
The 2017 Indigenous STEM Awards celebrate the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and scientists who are studying and working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are areas of research and application that have helped modernise the world.
