Double your impact and help First Nations learners discover what’s possible

Right now, too many First Nations learners are missing out on opportunities to explore their potential in STEM. 

You can help change that. 

Thanks to a generous supporter, your tax-deductible donation today will be matched dollar for dollar before 30 June. 

Double your impact and help connect young people with culturally relevant science learning, mentoring, and real-world experiences.

“You can’t be what you can’t see.”

Rilee grew up in Mt Isa and never imagined she could study science at university. 

Like many young people in regional and remote communities, STEM careers felt distant – she believed you can’t be what you can’t see. 

Then, in Year 11, she was given the opportunity to attend a STEM camp through Deadly Science. That experience changed everything. 

For the first time, Rilee could see what was possible for her future. 

“Deadly Science just opened up my eyes to a lot of amazing role models. It was a life-changing experience.” – Rilee 

Her curiosity grew into confidence. 
And that confidence became a pathway. 
 
Today, Rilee is studying science at university and working towards a career in pharmacy – with a dream of giving back to her community. 

But there are thousands of students like Rilee right across Australia still waiting for that same opportunity. 

“Funding a program like this can be life-changing for someone, especially in rural communities.” – Rilee 

Spark the moment that changes a young person’s future.

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity isn’t.

Across Australia, there are thousands of First Nations learners with the curiosity, creativity, and potential to thrive in STEM. 

But many schools still lack access to: 

• STEM books and educational resources  
• Hands-on science learning experiences  
• Role models working in STEM  
• Culturally connected programs that make learning feel relevant and empowering  

Without these opportunities, too many young people are left feeling like STEM isn’t for them. 

That’s why we exist. And why we need your support before 30 June.

Creating pathways through culture, science, and connection

Deadly Science works alongside communities across Australia to help First Nations learners explore their potential in STEM. 

With your support, we can provide: 

• STEM books and learning resources for schools and communities  
• Hands-on workshops and interactive learning experiences  
• Mentoring and connection with First Nations STEM professionals  
• Programs that bring together culture and science in meaningful ways  

Because when learners can see themselves reflected in science, everything changes. 

“Programs such as Deadly Science spark curiosity in students, and say this isn't just science and technology, it's math and engineering. It's a whole other world.” – Rilee
