Huge congratulations to Australia’s newly announced superstars of STEM for 2021/2022. Sixty brilliant women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics who want to step into the spotlight as experts in their fields were announced today by Science and Technology Australia (STA).

Superstars of STEM aims to smash society’s gender assumptions about scientists and increase the public visibility of women in STEM.  STA started Superstars of STEM to create a critical mass of celebrity Australian women who work as scientists and technologists – role models for young women and girls – and to work towards equal representation in the media of women and men working in all fields in STEM.

The new Superstars reflects the strong diversity of women in STEM – including three Indigenous scientists and engineers.

We congratulate the worthy winners. We are inspired by your work and passion and appreciate the light you shine on Australian industry.

A full list of this year’s Superstars is on the Science and Technology Australia website.
