In place of the usual competitive financial grants selection process, all applicants to the 2020 school grants program have received an activity card-based system to use in National Science Week to support and encourage student engagement.

Based on ASTA’s highly successful SPECTRA model (SPECTRA = Science Program Exciting Children Through Research Activities), cards have been produced for four different educational groups from Early Years through to Year 10, with curriculum-based topics relating to this year’s Deep Blue theme. All of the activities are designed to be completed either at school or at home (where students are still undertaking home-based learning).
