Teachers with experience in programming and an interest in teaching relevant, authentic Aboriginal perspectives that provide significance within the curriculum for Aboriginal people, are invited to submit an Expression of Interest to be added to the register.

Interested people are invited to submit an expression of interest for inclusion on the register. Expressions of interest are particularly sought from people with skills and interests in the writing of the K–6 Science and Technology curriculum material.
