Message from our Patron
There can be nothing more important to the future of Australia than educating our children. I am delighted to be an ambassador for school science education and Scientists in Schools is a key initiative I am pursuing in this role.
The Scientists in Schools program promotes science education in primary and secondary schools, helps to engage and motivate students in their learning of science, and broadens awareness of the types and variety of exciting careers available in the sciences.
I encourage your involvement in this exciting national program. With your support and participation, we can inspire and motivate young people to pursue interests in science, and create and foster important links between school and science communities.
