Pack your pyjamas, we’re heading to camp! From Arnhem Land to Adelaide, Caboolture to Coffs – let's gather from far and wide to meet on Kaurna country.
This is a science camp, but not as you might imagine it.
These Indigenous teens (and you too) are in for a cultural odyssey – sometimes uplifting, sometimes confronting.
With rare access to a unique event, join Natasha Mitchell in camp digs at the Aboriginal Summer School for Excellence in Science and Technology to explore how First Nations = The First Scientists.
Listen to Part 2 School gate racism, education reclaimed, and family found
