Interested in science, and possible careers? ASI aims to encourage students to study science and consider careers in science, engineering and medicine.
Our main activities are the Science Summer School, the Science Olympiads and the Rio Tinto Big Science Competition. These events are for students aged between 10 and 17, and their teachers.
The Science Summer School is a head start to further studies (and careers) in science. It's a two-week residential course in January for students in Grade 10 and 11. Held at Monash University, it covers the equivalent of first year studies in biology, chemistry or physics.
The Science Olympiads is an international competition for students aged about 15-16. Every year, Australia sends separate teams in biology, chemistry and physics to compete overseas for medals against students from 80 other countries.
The date of the next Big Science Competition is 1 September, 2010. This one hour competition is open to secondary students of all abilities and ages, and tests their science knowledge and understanding.
