Co-designing an Indigenous STEM learning model with Traditional Owners. Indigenous students are underperforming in Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). This trend causes economic and social justice issues for Australia as the STEM workforce minimises. This research aims to improve Indigenous student engagement in STEM through co-designing with Traditional Owners & community members a learning model, curriculum and place based resources underpinned by Indigenous knowledges. It expects to produce new knowledge about the co-design process with Traditional Owners & community members in Indigenous STEM education and best practice for engaging Indigenous students in STEM. This new knowledge will directly benefit Indigenous peoples, schools, educators, students, policy makers, and governments.. Scheme: Discovery Indigenous.
