The NT Science Week Awards established in 2021 by the CDU STEM outreach team has expanded in 2024 to celebrate new areas in STEM application, education, and outreach and has been renamed as the Radicle Science Awards NT. Radicle is the scientific name given to the first root that appears when a seed germinates. It represents our purpose which is to increase the reach of Science Technology to all Territorians.

The 2024 Radicle Science Awards NT were held on the 19th of October 2024 at Darwin Entertainment Centre.
