About Us
DeadlyScience started with Corey Tutt, a young student passionate about STEM. Corey noticed that regional and remote education providers were under-resourced, and First Nations learners weren’t getting the same opportunities as their urban peers.Determined to make a difference, Corey worked two jobs to send resources to these education providers.
In 2018, DeadlyScience was born. A not-for-profit bringing STEM tools, programs, and mentorship to regional and remote communities across Australia.Today, we work with more than 800 schools, education providers, and community organisations nationwide, inspiring the next generation of First Nations scientists, engineers, and innovators.
Creating STEM equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners
We provide STEM resources, hands-on programs, and mentoring to young people in regional and remote communities, helping them explore, learn, and succeed in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The Challenge
The numbers speak for themselves. Only 0.5% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians hold a university STEM qualification, one-tenth the rate of the non-Indigenous population. In regional and remote communities, this percentage is even lower.
We’re here to close that gap. By providing teachers with the right resources and delivering engaging STEM programs, we ensure that every learner has the tools and support they need to succeed.
