Events like this remind us why it’s so important to back STEM—science, technology, engineering, and maths—and the people who are turning ideas into real-world impact.
It’s also a timely reminder that the Engaging Science Grants are now open for a new round. These grants offer up to $25,000 per project for initiatives that:
-
Promote STEM career pathways
-
Build public science literacy
-
Encourage hands-on science engagement
This year, priority will be given to projects that integrate science participation into nature-based tourism—a perfect fit for our region.
📅 Applications close 22 September 2025, so don’t miss this opportunity.
