National Indigenous Science Education Program (NISEP), Macquarie University

The National Indigenous Science Education Program (NISEP) uses science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to place Indigenous secondary students in leadership roles at school, community and university-based events so they gain the confidence, motivation and aspiration to finish school and pursue pathways to tertiary education and employment. NISEP is a unique collective of Aboriginal Elders and community members, university staff and students, school staff and STEM organisations committed to helping the educational attainment of Indigenous youth in a meaningful way. NISEP targets high schools from low socioeconomic rural, regional and metro areas, with around 200 Indigenous students participating as leaders annually.
