Science Week 2021

14-22nd August 2021

Science Week 2021

The school theme for National Science Week 2021 will be Food: Different by Design. It will honor the United Nations International Year of Fruits and Vegetables and the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development.

Food: Different by Design will cover a broad range of areas in food production and sustainable agriculture, enabling students to explore topics such as biosecurity, food technology and laboratory-developed foods. Scientific development will be at the core to the theme, with other hands-on projects for students to explore.

School grants

Applications for school grants of up to $500 are now open. The grants are designed to support teachers and schools deliver engaging STEM events and activities in National Science Week. They are intended to be a contribution to the running of an activity or event in a school, and not be the sole means of support.

Applications close on 2 April. Grant rules and the application form are available from the Australian Science Teachers Association (ASTA).

The school grant round is conducted by ASTA and the grant pool of more than $100 000 is provided by the Australian Government.

I'm getting in early, I know, but mainly because there are apparently grants available here in the Northern Territory to support activity that draws the community’s attention towards science, enabling people to participate in science whilst fostering partnerships between the community, research organisations and industry.

The school theme of National Science Week 2020 is ‘Deep Blue: innovations for the future of our oceans’.   With this in mind, it will embrace the innovative technologies, capabilities and skills needed to achieve economic, environmental and social sustainability of our oceans. It will feature insights and inquiries into workable solutions that generate healthy oceans, healthy economies and healthy communities.

There are grants available of up to $500 to support National Science Week activities in schools and help them to conduct a STEM related activity during that period.   May be worth a look ...
