The Science Experience
The Science Experience is a fun three days of science and technology activities for students entering Year 10 in 2010.
Students experience university life first hand by attending lectures and taking part in practical sessions. The program provides experience in a wide range of fascinating science activities in a fun and interactive way under the guidance of scientists and students.
RMIT University is hosting the Science Experience from 20 - 22 January 2010 and would like to thank Boeing Australia for being a major sponsor.
RMIT program
You’ll be taken through lots of hands-on interactive sessions in labs, venture out into the field on excursions and hear talks from working scientists, all led by a group of young university students who love science.
Fun social activities like crazy quizzes, games and competitions, help students get to know each other. The Science Show is a grand finale of bangs, flashes and smashes!
The program varies a little year to year.
