What is Science Roadshow?
Science Roadshow is an outreach program run by the Faculty of Science and aimed at inspiring high school students from low socioeconomic status areas to continue studying science and go to university.
In semester 2 each year, volunteer presenters deliver science shows and workshops to high schools in metro and regional areas. Presenters receive extensive training and are responsible for developing the content for the program including short talks, and unique science demos and activities.
By participating in the program, presenters develop their communication and teamwork skills and act as role models for the high school students by telling their own stories of success.
