Series: Deadly Science

From planets made of gas, to stars made of fire, our vast Solar System is filled with mysteries still to be explored and solved. Did you know that the world’s first astronomers were Indigenous Australians over 35,000 years ago? These Australians were the first humans to closely observe and note the movement of the planet and stars in space. So, buckle up and get ready to navigate the nebulas and comets with us as we explore space and begin to unravel the intricacies of our little corner of the Milky Way.

Embark on a scientific journey with the DeadlyScience books, an engaging series created with Corey Tutt, the 2020 NSW Young Australian of the Year.

Perfect for schools, libraries, and curious young minds, these books explore captivating topics while incorporating Indigenous knowledge.

Australian Geographic captures the spirit of Australia, and strives to inspire, entertain and educate children with engaging stories, fascinating facts and amazing photography. Australian Geographic endeavours to leave our planet a better place, supporting conservation efforts, adventure and community projects – but most importantly they encourage the next generation to love the world we live in. Founded by proud Kamilaroi man Corey Tutt OAM, DeadlyScience emerged with a powerful mission: to address the inequalities in educational resources and opportunities that discourage First Nations youth from pursuing their passions in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the First Scientists of this land, and DeadlyScience is dedicated to celebrating and preserving that legacy. Through their programs and resources, DeadlyScience are breaking down barriers for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across Australia and inspiring the next generation of deadly scientists, innovators, engineers, and mathematicians.
