Yr 10 SCIENCE CAMP

Step into Science and be inspired. Enthusiasm required!

We are happy to announce that in 2012 we will be making some exciting new changes to our Yr10 work experience scheme.

Rather than offering traditional work experience to a small number of students spread throughout the year, we will be running a 4 day Yr10 Science Camp that will run in July 2012.

Science Camp will enable us to host even more students and provide a unique inspirational insight into life as a scientist at the NRP. There will be a mixture of group practical and academic activities in addition to placement in working laboratories for 2 days. Using our new state of the art training laboratory, students will conduct experiments led by the Genome Analysis Centre, debate GM issues and visit the high tech microscopy facilities at JIC. At a final summary session, students will present their laboratory experiences to the group as well as their hosts. Science teachers will also be invited to attend this session and join in the discussions.

If you are really passionate about science as a possible career then this is the experience for you! We expect a large number of applications and the standard to be exceptionally high so please put plenty of thought into making yours one of the best.

Good luck!
