Evaluation
Scientists in Schools began in July 2007 as a six-month pilot project funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.
Since then, two independent evaluations have been carried out by Professor Léonie Rennie and
Dr Christine Howitt from Curtin University of Technology [external link].The findings of both evaluations were overwhelmingly positive, with the authors recommending that the program continue. This has been possible through further funding from the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and CSIRO.
