Event description

Sydney Rotarians and guests will have the opportunity to meet the man on a mission to bring science to Indigenous students at their lunchtime meeting on Tuesday 27 October.

He is the 2020 Young Australian of the Year, Kamilaroi man Corey Tutt, who is  tackling the issue of bringing books to Indigenous students in rural schools.

Working at Sydney University as an Animal Technician at the University of Sydney, Corey created the Deadly Science program to provide remote schools with scientific resources, and to connect young Indigenous people with mentors to encourage participation in science and STEMM in general.

Corey's favourite quote is Mahatma Gandhi’s words, “Be the change you wish to see in the world”.  He feels that in life you can be faced with many barriers that you need to learn to overcome, and he thinks the way we remove those barriers is by chasing our dreams and being the change to break the cycle.

Corey is really keen to grow the program this year, so he has started a philanthropic drive with a DeadlyScience fundraising page. Every donation will help pay the transport costs to send books to remote schools and to buy a copy of Dark Emu for each school.

You are invited to support Rotary's Centennial Project - Give Every Child a Future.
