[ASA] Fwd: Superstars of STEM – Applications are opening!

[Richard McDermid]

Dear ASA,

Please see information below for the upcoming STA Superstars of STEM round.

Note that STA are soliciting input from those who have supported or hosted previous applicants, which they may use as part of their public communications. The deadline for that input mentioned is today, but I expect you can still email them 100 words in the coming days - send that to ceo at sta.org.au.

Best wishes,
Richard

Dear STA Members,

We are excited to start preparations to recruit our 2027-2028 cohort for the Superstars of STEM<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/jqnyCL7EwMfmKMVKmIqhjcyBV7T?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au> program and we need your help.

2026 also marks 10 years since the program launched, and we'd love to use your responses to celebrate this milestone in STA's public communications.

If you have had Superstars participate from your organisation, please reply to this email by 24 June and tell us in approximately 100 words, why you would recommend someone to be part of the program.

If possible, we would also welcome if you are willing to create a short video and post it on social media sharing what your staff gained from the program. Please tag STA and use the hashtag #SuperstarsofSTEM.

Ideally, please aim to post this when applications are open from 20 July to 20 August. You may also like to share a link to the Superstars application page:
