Welcome to the Connect with Scientists & Spark Student Curiosity – Earth Science Panel for Teachers! Join us on August 21, 2025 at 6:00 PM (Australia/Brisbane Time) for an engaging discussion.

This hybrid event brings together scientists working in Earth and Environmental Science disciplines aligned with the Australian National Curriculum. The panel of scientists will respond to both pre-submitted and live questions from teachers, offering practical insights and real-world examples to help educators spark student interest and engagement in science.

Why attend?

• Inspire curiosity: Discover how to connect classroom content with real-world science to ignite students’ passion for Earth and Environmental Sciences—from school age through to future careers.
• Hear from leading researchers: Gain fresh perspectives from scientists working on topics aligned with the curriculum.
• Shape the conversation: Submit your questions in advance or ask them live during the event.
• Take away practical resources: Receive a post-event summary designed for classroom use.
• Build your network: Connect with fellow educators and scientists during a relaxed, catered networking session

While the event is designed with secondary teachers in mind, we also warmly welcome primary educators and university students in Science or Secondary Teaching programs.

All under-18 students must be accompanied by a teacher, guardian, or designated supervisor. By registering to the event, all participants including parents/guardians for minors attending consent to photography and recording during the event for promotional and documentation purposes.

This is a collaborative event between WOMEESA and GSA.
