Destination Moon: more missions, more science is the schools theme for National Science Week in 2019, providing a way for teachers and their students to discover past missions to the Moon as well as space programs that have solved some of the seemingly unsolvable problems.
Use the opportunity of National Science Week from 10-18 August 2019 to engage students with the science and engineering behind current and future space programs, operations and missions. Many of these use big picture thinking in science to solve problems, along with technology, engineering and mathematics to design new solutions.
Encouraging student interest in these areas will help forge their future paths, including in the areas of space operations, space science, Earth observations, positioning systems and communications.
Grants of up to $500 are available to support school STEM activities in National Science Week and any Australian school can apply, from preschool to senior secondary.
The grant round is administered by the Australian Science Teachers Association and funding is provided by the Australian Government.
