Help local indigenous students in NSW access STEM education.

Welfare Aid International worked in collaboration with NISEP (National Indigenous Science Education Program) to help Aboriginal students from regional and rural areas engage in a Science Experience Workshop at Macquarie University. NISEP, an organisation run by academics at Macquarie University, runs these workshops in order to introduce these students to Science, Technology and Mathematics and potentially encourage them to further their education in these fields. For many of such students, tertiary education is a way out of a cycle of poverty and disadvantage.

Your contribution supports the Transport, accommodation, food and participation fees for students from remote regions of NSW to come to Macquarie University to learn from each other and academics. They learn leadership skills as well as science skills and get exposed to professionals in various fields to broaden their horizons.
