DeadlyScience

DeadlyScience is an Indigenous-led not-for-profit organisation founded in 2018 by Corey Tutt OAM, a proud Kamilaroi man and STEM advocate. The organisation was born from a simple yet powerful goal: to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students — Australia’s First Scientists — have access to quality science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) resources, no matter where they live.

Starting with book donations and STEM kits, DeadlyScience has grown to support over 800 schools and community organisations across Australia, particularly in remote and regional areas. The organisation promotes culturally relevant science education, combining Western scientific knowledge with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems.

DeadlyScience is committed to:

• Increasing engagement and achievement in STEM for First Nations students.
• Providing hands-on learning resources, including telescopes, 3D printers, and coding tools.
• Supporting teachers with culturally responsive curriculum materials.
• Creating pathways for Indigenous young people to thrive in STEM careers.
• The word “deadly” in Aboriginal English means “excellent” or “awesome”—a fitting name for an organisation inspiring the next generation of Deadly Scientists.
