National Youth Science Forum - NYSF

NATIONAL YOUTH SCIENCE FORUM (NYSF)
BACKGROUND The National Youth Science Forum runs summer schools in January each year for high school students with a talent and passion for science. Students who have completed year 11 are exposed to professional scientists and engineers in a variety of laboratory and industry visits, hands-on experiments and video links to overseas facilities. They also take part in enrichment activities related to career and personal development. Most importantly, they meet with students who have the same goals and passions as they do.

There are approximately 400 positions each year for students from throughout Australia to attend 2 summer schools, which are held at the Australian National University in Canberra. District 9670 normally sends 17 students to these summer schools. There is also an annual opportunity to attend a summer school in New Zealand as well as summer schools overseas.
District interviews will be held in July-August. An orientation for the successful students will take place generally in September. Successful students may also be invited to a reception with the Governor of NSW in September.
