This Science Week, join the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Plants for Space and Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria in a unique, future-facing education experience. From Earth's ecosystems to lunar greenhouses, this is a call for the next generation of thinkers, growers, and problem-solvers to reimagine how we live with plants, wherever we go.

This program connects curriculum-aligned science learning with real-world challenges and the exciting future of space exploration.

Students will:

- Discover the challenges of growing plants beyond Earth and how nature's genius offers solutions.

- Investigate plant adaptations that might help them survive in extreme off-Earth environments.

- Explore how plants provide everything humans need including food, medicines, materials and joy.

- Design a plant that could survive and thrive beyond Earth!

This program is designed for students in Years 5-8.
