In January every year, the University holds a three-day hands-on science experience designed specifically for school students entering year 10 and 11.

The Science Experience provides students with the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of science by:

• performing interesting experiments and investigations
• hearing from leaders in science, technology and engineering.

They also learn about careers in science, technology and engineering.

The University holds the event in association with Rotary International and other sponsors.
