The '//**Being a Scientist in Central Australia**//' project aims to bring cutting-edge science to the students, teachers and the community of Alice Springs and Tennant Creek.

The project will involve bringing a variety of presenters to visit on five occasions during an 18 month period. The innovative feature of the project is to bring science activities to Central Australia to enable more of our students to have the opportunity to experience ‘hands-on activities’ to complement the theory taught from the science curriculum.

The presenters bring a variety of activities that will extend the students knowledge and will be equally complemented through related theory within the science curriculum.

The Science teachers benefit by being part of a Learning Community where the middle-years schooling hands-on approach is utilised and students who will gain the most from each particular workshop can be targeted.

The outcomes of the project are to increase the interest in science in secondary students within the Central Australia region.
