As part of our commitment to community engagement and STEM education, our students have been visiting local kindergartens to share their science knowledge, understandings, and enthusiasm for learning. These visits have provided valuable opportunities for our students to develop leadership, communication, and mentoring skills, while inspiring younger children to explore the wonders of science through…
Topic: Innovation and Technology
Sydney Technical High School STEAM Showcase
Step into the microscopic world at Sydney Technical High School’s STEAM Showcase! As part of our “Showcasing Innovation” project, we’ve hired a real Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)—a super-powerful machine that can zoom in on tiny details invisible to the human eye. During Week 10 of Term 2, students across Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths…
Flight of Fancy Science Expo
We have some fantastic paper plane engineers at Katoomba Public School. KPS families are invited to join us for a hands-on Expo exploring flight and space. Students from Kindy to Year 6 will participate in stage-appropriate rotational experiments that explore forces relevant to flight, including gravity, friction and air resistance. Children will have the opportunity…
Fin-Tastic Science – Solving the mysteries of the underwater world
The Fin-tastic project will engage Indigenous school children in the remote Ramingining community in the Northern Territory, in a hands-on science experiment that will help to create pathways into science for Aboriginal people and answer some of the questions the school children have. The project will use Baited Remote Underwater Cameras (BRUVs) to reveal the…
Moving with solar power
Waverley Meadows Primary School will be holding a science afternoon that will include families, a nearby kindergarten and other local schools. Each year level will showcase their learning that incorporates their inquiry subject and each of the year levels will visit each other during the afternoon. The variety of activities across the year levels not…
Maidstone Massive Marble Run
Maidstone Massive Marble Run will be the celebration of students working together to create a chain reaction machine based on the inventions of Rube Goldberg. All students in the school will come together to be hands on in building the machine. The activity will foster skills in sequencing, problem solving and prepare learners for coding…
Capalaba State College Science Week
A week-long celebration of everything Science, the college will have daily experiments and activities, special excursions to explore science careers, and a full day presentation of local flora and fauna.
2025 Marie Curie Lectures, Claire Corani Memorial Lecture – Your quantum future with Dr Sol H Jacobsen
The humble electron is a pillar of modern technology. They power almost every aspect of daily life, from your toaster to your phone. But these devices use only one quantum property of the electrons: their charge. Today, physicists are harnessing other properties of electrons– such as their “spin” – to advance a new technological revolution….
Book an Adventure and Decode the Universe!
What do animal tracks, bubble rainbows, balloon buggies and lava lamps have in common? They’re all part of one epic day of science, storytelling and hands-on discovery! In “Book an Adventure & Decode the Universe,” our whole-school Learning Journey turns every classroom into a lab, linking National Science Week and Book Week through experiments inspired…
Sustainable Students and Schools
How can you save the Earth? Our Science Week focus will be on how we can all be superheroes for the Earth and do our bit to look after it. Students will learn how to develop and use renewable energy, reduce waste, recycle and even use hothouses to help grow sustainable crops!
