Curriculum-Aligned STEM Sessions:

Our STEM in Schools sessions bring Indigenous STEM knowledge to life in classrooms across Australia. Using a two-way approach, these workshops spark curiosity and empower students through hands-on, real-world problem-solving activities. With a range of activities in each STEM area, we cater to the interests and year level of each class, igniting a passion for STEM and inspiring students to consider exciting STEM careers. Designed and led by our exceptional team, these sessions cultivate a mindset of innovation and exploration. Join us as we empower the next generation of STEM leaders.

To better reflect our commitment to equity and support for underserved communities, DeadlyScience will prioritise schools meeting at least two of the following criteria:

1. Indigenous Student Population: At least 15% of the student body identifies as Indigenous, as reported by MySchools/ACARA.
2. Geographic Location: The school is classified as "Outer Regional," "Remote," or "Very Remote" by the Australian Bureau of Statistics Remoteness Structure.
3. Student Attendance: The school demonstrates consistent attendance rates below the national average for at least three consecutive years, with particular focus on Indigenous attendance rates and levels.
4. Limited Science Resources: The school lacks adequate resources in at least one of the following areas:
5. Science space and storage for resources.
6. Access to experimental science resources (including ongoing supply of consumables).
7. Access to relevant science literature (including educational literature, digital media, and learning resources for students).
8. Specialised science teacher and access to ongoing relevant training and information for technology and science implementation for teachers, and especially access to First Nations language and science specialists.
9. Priority of science within curriculum, as represented by allocation of time.
10. Socio-educational Disadvantage: At least 50% of students are deemed to have below-average Socio-educational Advantage (SEA) OR the school falls into the bottom 50% of the Index of Community Socio-educational Advantage (ICSEA).

• Qualification: We'll review your Expression of Interest to ensure your school meets our criteria.

• Waitlist Process: Due to high demand, after qualification there is a waitlist process. We'll carefully assess the logistics to determine if we have the resources available to accommodate your request. Please note this might take some time.

• Scheduling & Topic Selection: Once we're ready to schedule your session, we'll provide you with access to our catalogue of activities and topics. You can browse and select the ones that best suit your students' interests and learning objectives. We'll then collaborate with you to find a convenient date and time for the session.

• Service Agreement & Consent: You'll receive a service agreement and consent forms via email. Please review, complete, and return these to confirm your booking.

• Confirmation & Preparation: You'll receive a confirmation email with pre-session information and a survey.

• Session Delivery: Get ready for an exciting and engaging in-person STEM session!

• Post-Session Evaluation: Please provide your valuable feedback through our post-session survey.
