The Science Experience is a national program that encourages students
in Years 9 and 10 to consider science, engineering and technology as
interesting and worthwhile subject and career choices.
The programs are essentially 3 days of hands-on science fun and
activities in laboratories, short interactive lectures in lecture
theatres from prominent scientists such as Dr Fiona Wood (2005
Australian of the Year) and the Sleekest Geek himself, Dr Karl
Kruszelnicki and most programs include a visit to a local
research/industry site. Each program provides information on possible
careers and future study opportunities.
Almost 3,000 places are available and conducted in approximately 36
university campuses and tertiary institutions throughout Australia
each year.
The Science Experience has received in the past, generous financial
sponsorship from Siemens Ltd when it was known as The Siemens Science
Experience. The program continues to have the support and
encouragement from Siemens and also, from the national and state
science teachers associations, the Young Scientists of Australia and
the participating universities and tertiary institutions.
