Robinson River Bush Soap

In partnership with the Robinson River community on Garawa Country in the Northern Territory, and supported by Merck Life Science, Deadly Labs launched a collaborative initiative to address a local community challenge.

Guided by inclusive engagement and the wisdom of community Elders, the project developed soap-making kits accompanied by instructional videos created by local students. These resources provide hands-on learning opportunities while fostering reciprocal knowledge exchange, connecting traditional on-country practices with contemporary educational experiences.

The kits are designed to enrich learning for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, creating meaningful, culturally grounded STEM experiences that celebrate community knowledge and creativity.
