FOR YEAR 9-10 STUDENTS 

Sign Up for the Science Experience at the University of Melbourne 

The Science Experience is three days of hands-on science activities for Year 9 and 10 students.  

You’ll work in laboratories, sit in on short lectures and demonstrations, and may visit places of scientific interest. You’ll also find out about further study and careers in science, technology and engineering, and meet students from other schools who share your interests. 

How do I apply? 
Apply online through the Science Experience website. Places go in the order applications arrive, so get in early. Three-day programs cost $250, and many local Rotary clubs will sponsor students for part or all of the fee. Allow three to six weeks for a Rotary club to consider your application. 

Download the brochure for more information or visit the Science Experience website.
