Our best and brightest STEM students and teachers have been honoured at Australia’s most prestigious science and engineering awards.

The BHP Foundation Science and Engineering Awards, and the Indigenous STEM Awards, highlight the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to Australia and celebrate the next generation of Australia’s STEM talent.

The Awards feature an impressive line-up of Australia’s best STEM talent including teachers and the top school-aged researchers and innovators in the country, set to excel in their careers and become the leaders of tomorrow.

The Awards also celebrate the diversity of STEM participation and achievement across Australia, particularly recognising the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander STEM professionals and students and their teachers, schools and supporters.

BHP Chief People Officer Athalie Williams said the dedication and passion these students, teachers, schools and their supporters have for STEM was inspiring.

“It’s great to be able to encourage the innovation, creativity, and critical thinking as well as increase the diversity of a new generation of STEM innovators and researchers for Australia,” Ms Williams said.

CSIRO Chief Executive Dr Larry Marshall said the award winners’ and finalists’ ideas could help all Australians seize opportunities in our rapidly changing future.

“The world is changing faster than humans can keep up with, but science, technology, engineering and maths can solve these challenges & guide us to a better future through innovation,” Dr Marshall said.

“Around three quarters of all future jobs will need STEM and we’re absolutely committed to helping school students develop these skills so they can turn science into solutions that better shape Australia’s future.”

“We know that the achievements of the winners and finalists will inspire other students to become innovators solving the big challenges that face our world.”

The 26 BHP Foundation Science and Engineering Awards finalists have just completed an intensive four-day science camp, during which they toured research facilities, learned about science communication and commercialisation, and presented their research for judging.

This year’s winners of the Indigenous STEM Awards include Thuringowa State High School near Townsville for its innovative STEM program, and teacher Makhdoom Bhatti from the Ntaria Community School in the Northern Territory for successfully integrating Indigenous and Western STEM into science classes.

2019 NT Young Achiever of the Year Rikki Bruce was also honoured, receiving an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander STEM Professional Early Career Award.

“CSIRO acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have made, and continue to make, extraordinary contributions to our culture, the economy and science and the achievements of our Indigenous STEM Award winners are excellent examples,” Dr Marshall said.

Ms Williams added: “For more than 60,000 years Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities thrived through knowledge gained as this country’s first innovators, engineers, scientists and mathematicians.

“We have a lot to learn. It is critical to the future of STEM that Indigenous peoples in Australia and around the world are participating in STEM careers and driving the advances that the world needs.”

Local award ceremonies for Indigenous STEM Awards will occur over six weeks to involve and acknowledge the winners’ local communities.

Six of the BHP Foundation Science & Engineering Award finalists will have the opportunity to showcase their research alongside students from 75 countries at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the USA.

The BHP Foundation Science and Engineering Awards and the Indigenous STEM Awards are managed by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, in partnership with the BHP Foundation.

BHP and CSIRO have a long standing 39-year partnership and are proud to partner on awards that highlight current and future STEM professionals and increase and celebrate diversity in STEM fields.

The Australian Science Teachers Association (ASTA) and the Science Teacher Associations (STAs) in each state and territory are partners in the BHP Foundation Science and Engineering Awards.

As Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO solves real issues to unlock a better future for our community, our economy, and our planet.

The BHP Foundation works to address some of the critical sustainable development challenges. In Australia the Foundation focuses on Indigenous governance, and programs that harness the potential of young people through initiatives related to early childhood development, education in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and mental health and wellbeing.
