At this meet-up, we’ll focus on connecting to Country and First Nations cultures in the STEM classroom starting with textiles as an example. This special session will be held at The Queensland Museum of the Tropics with access to the People, Culture and Country exhibition which features wearable art created by students with the guidance of local First Nations artists.
