In week 3, four students attended the two day 2023 Aboriginal Learner STEM Congress at the Adelaide Convention Centre. The Congress is a South Australian Department for Education's initiative to engage and inspire the next generation of young Aboriginal scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians.

The congress celebrates First Nations peoples as the first Scientists in Australia, the first astronomers, forensic researchers, chemists and ecologists. The Congress connects Aboriginal learners to STEM through a range of interactive and challenging STEM experiences designed to demonstrate that Aboriginal learners are powerful STEM learners and lead thinkers.
