The University of Tasmania is proud to again partner with the Tasmanian Government and Inspiring Australia to open the 2020 Tasmanian STEM Excellence Awards for excellence in science, technology, engineering and maths. 

These awards recognise the achievements and innovations of our leading local scientific practitioners, researchers, teachers and students, who not only help deliver the knowledge, products and services that improve our quality of life, but also boost our economy to grow even more local jobs.

  • The Minister’s Tasmanian STEM Innovation of the Year; 
  • Tasmanian STEM Teacher of the Year for Primary Years; 
  • Tasmanian STEM Teacher of the Year for Secondary Years; and
