Celebrate science. Support science.

Our next generation of Aussie kids are bright. They have big ideas, boundless curiosity and spades of creativity. They're our future scientists, innovators and engineers. Right now, it's our job to make sure that when they grow up, they can fulfil their potential right here in Australia.

This National Science Week, harness your students' curiosity and show your support for Australian science.

Teaching resources

Take science beyond the classroom with these curriculum aligned resources developed by the Primary Connections and Science Connections teams, scaffolded from Foundation to Yr 10.

Join the campaign

Our students should be able to build careers that contribute to making Australia safer, healthier and more prosperous.

But Australia's science system is in trouble. After more than a decade of declining investment, opportunities for young scientists are scarce and uncertain. We've fallen behind other countries, and risk losing our best minds overseas.

To secure a brighter future for our students right here, we must restore science. You can join schools around the country by:

  • sending a quick message to decision-makers using our easy form
  • checking out teaching resources to explore Australia's history of groundbreaking scientific discovery
  • find inspiration by reading letters from students across Australia speaking up for science.
