The Faculty of Science is a committed participant of In2science; an innovative and proven multi-university schools partnership program. In2science places volunteer university science, technology, engineering and maths students into year 8 and 9 classes in low socioeconomic high schools. Mentors work as role models by sharing their enthusiasm for science and maths, helping students to achieve in class and encouraging them to continue with science and maths into VCE and beyond.
Teachers appreciate the extra pair of hands and new ideas and activities brought to class by mentors. The University and schools value their ongoing partnership including direct links to current science and events.
As a mentor, university students develop communication skills, enhance their resumes, get a taste for the science/maths classroom and encourage the next generation of science students, and in the process proving that scientists are diverse people not restricted to lab coats!
