ICRAR’s Stargirls+ STEM Camp was designed around best practice recommendations from the Women in STEM Decadal Plan, and includes a robust evaluation program.
Each Stargirls+ camp includes a comprehensive pre- and post- program survey, looking at attitudes, career intentions, and subject matter knowledge. We also conduct regular follow-up research with past participants to see where their STEM journeys have taken them.
We presented results from these evaluation programs, including the first follow-up data, at the 2024 Australian Science Communicators (ASC) National Conference, and at ICRARCon 2025, ICRAR’s biannual internal conference. A recording of this presentation is available below.
If you participated in a Stargirls+ program, we would love to hear from you to continue this research! Please reach out to education@icrar.org and share your STEM journey with us.
ICRAR also produced a case study in 2023, based on preliminary pre- and post-survey results from the first two years of the program.
