11 – 14 August 2025, Online

This National Science Week, your classroom can enjoy free virtual excursions from Scitech and the Australian Space Agency!

Year 3 – 6 students can become Space Explorers from their classroom with a series of four 45-minute live digital sessions all around this year’s National Science Week theme of Decoding the Universe.

Each session explores how mathematics, technology, and engineering are growing Australia’s space industry. With insights from real-world industry professionals, Scitech will highlight the real-world (and outer world) impacts of STEM with your students.

These sessions will start live each day at 10:30am ASCT.

Registered teachers will also be provided free extension resources, and digital copies of the virtual excursions, to keep and use in their classrooms, extending their students’ space mission beyond National Science Week.
