We welcome the Government’s Pathway to Diversity in STEM Review, and its recommendation that Australia’s Learned Academies work with the academic community and Traditional Knowledge holders to build respect, awareness and better practices to weave First Nations Knowledges into science and research systems.

We confirm @Science_Academy, in partnership with @ATSE_AU, will be working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Knowledge holders to co-design and co-develop a paper on the intersection of Traditional Knowledge and the broader scientific knowledge systems in STEM.

It will provide practical guidance to research leaders and administrators on how to meaningfully incorporate Traditional knowledges into research methodologies, and empower the research sector to be actively and routinely involved in weaving together such knowledges.

We will have more to say in response to the full review later today.

#earlychildhoodeducators have you seen @ELSAprogram latest post about their program? How have you explored #patterning with your students? #stemeducation #patterns #stemearlychildhood

[Early Learning STEM Australia (ELSA) @ELSAprogram]

Let’s Decorate is all about patterning, which is fun for children and also an important STEM concept.

Once children have completed a number of patterns, they can take photos to make their own patterns!

Looking forward to hearing @shyambarr latest interview with @TTRadio2021 this Friday! #teachertalk

[Dr Shyam Barr @shyambarr]

Super excited to talk with Seb @TTRadio2021 UK later this week about all things #teaching and #learning. For my fellow educators down under, I’ll be on at 4am Friday 10th Dec (AEDT) so pop it in the calendar! 🤪 It will be a kickstart to your day! #radio #podcast #interview

[Early Learning STEM Australia (ELSA) @ELSAprogram]

Photo Story is all about ordering—an important STEM concept. It uses pictures of children undertaking a series of events.

Once children have completed the examples, they can then take photos and order their own stories!
