Students

"THE SCIENCE OF TODAY IS THE TECHNOLOGY OF TOMORROW, BE PART OF IT!"

As a year 12 student with an interest in STEM, we are offering you the opportunity to join a supervised but autonomous placement in a field related to science, technology, engineering, or math (or a combination) to further ignite your passion for the subject.

Successful students and their supervisors will decide upon the piece of research they will undertake together during the placement and then work through the research from start to finish, making this a unique and exciting opportunity for everyone.
