The Indigenous STEM Awards recognise, reward and celebrate the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and scientists who are studying and working in science, technology, engineering or maths.

The CSIRO initiative started this year and entries are now open.

Karlie Noon from the CSIRO says the research body wants to encourage Indigenous people working in science, technology, engineering or maths…otherwise known as the STEM fields.  She chats here to CAAMA's Nathan Coates.
