About the program

Young Tassie Scientists are early career researchers and STEMM professionals who are excited to share their work through interactive talks and hands-on activities as part of National Science Week celebrations. They help engage and inspire students to learn about science and science-related careers across a range of disciplines – and also provide teachers with the opportunity to build their knowledge of current research.
