Sydney Science Festival

There’s nothing like a strong dosage of outreach to get the ‘cats out of the box’ into the public sphere.

The FLEET Centre of Excellence invests significant resources into science-outreach, aimed to inspire stronger engagement with science across all levels of the community, from primary and secondary school students to the broader population.

Beyond this, science outreach also builds valuable skills for our FLEET members.

Over the last month, FLEET-UNSW members have flown the flag for science at a very successful science festival, introduced prospective students (and their parents) to UNSW science at the university’s open day, and developed a new card game to celebrate the international year of the periodic table.
