The Scientists in Schools program allows you and your students
to work with a scientist in a flexible, professional
partnership. The scientist can act as mentor, role model or
inspiration for your students, providing you and them with
access to new ideas and fresh perspectives in science. In turn,
you and your students will help scientists see their work from a
new angle and stay engaged with the public perception of their
work. The program is open to schools anywhere in Australia, and
to all levels of schooling. The 'scientists' involved will come
from a wide range of disciplines and will include research
scientists, engineers and people involved in applied science
(such as GPs, vets and park rangers). - What's involved? -
