Join us in our Virtual Science Program!

Our virtual science program is funded by the Victorian Department of Education to allow regional and remote schools to access quality Science workshops online.

Our science workshops engage students in hands-on experiments exploring a range of STEM subjects. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) learning promotes critical, creative and integrative thinking, problem-solving, collaboration and initiative. It also encourages flexibility to enable children to adjust to future challenges in society and has been linked to improved academic outcomes for students.

Every week the Discovery team will run live, online workshops where students engage with, interact with and participate in experiments along side our science communicator. The schools are provided with materials and online support to explore curriculum-based science topics.

Our Virtual Science program is run in two streams our F-2 stream for Foundation to Grade 2 students and our 3-6 stream for grade 3-6 students. Our topics are linked to the relevant year levels in the science curriculum.

This program is FREE for rural and regional government schools across Victoria for two terms thanks to the Victorian Department of Education and Training.

Returning schools, metropolitan schools, non-government schools or other schools that are ineligible for a funded place can participate in the program for $18 per students per term.
