Get your popcorn ready for the Mission: Space Virtual Excursions!
This National Science Week, your classroom can enjoy free virtual excursions from Scitech Discovery Centre and the Australian Space Agency!
Year 3 – 6 students can become Space Explorers from their classroom with a series of four 45-minute live digital sessions all around this year’s National Science Week theme of Decoding the Universe.
Monday, 11 August 2025: Mission: Space - Enigmatic Earth and Space
Tuesday, 12 August 2025: Mission: Space - Cryptic Chemistry
Wednesday, 13 August 2025: Mission: Space - Puzzling Physics
Thursday, 14 August 2025: Mission: Space - Baffling Biology
Each session explores how mathematics, technology, and engineering are growing Australia's space industry. With insights from real-world industry professionals, Scitech will highlight the real-world (and outer world) impacts of STEM with your students.
These sessions will start live each day at the following time –
- 09:00am Australian Western Standard Time (WA)
- 10:30am Australian Central Standard Time (NT, SA)
- 11:00am Australian Eastern Standard Time (ACT, NSW, QLD, TAS, VIC)
Registered teachers will also be provided free extension resources, and digital copies of the virtual excursions, to keep and use in their classrooms, extending their students' space mission beyond National Science Week.
The Mission: Space virtual excursions are designed to be accessible to regional and remote schools.
