2026 MEMBERS FREE Webinar Series: Embedding Aboriginal Contexts: A STEM Approach toward Cultural Inclusivity and Scientific Inquiry
Presenters: Caroline Dean, Deparment for Education
How can STEM teaching spark curiosity, creativity, and cultural inclusivity through embedding Aboriginal contexts? This webinar introduces conceptual learning about living, earth, and space systems, incorporating systems thinking with interactions and interconnections that shape the behaviour of these systems.
Participants will engage in active learning by exploring evaporation in water management, celestial patterns, and the marine ecosystem of the Gayinbara—developed in partnership with South Australian Aboriginal Nations.
Teachers will explore how to showcase First Nations Australians’ scientific knowledges and achievements, providing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students see their cultures reflected, while supporting all students to engage with respect and reconciliation.
Target Audience: Years R-10
