In this special schools showcase event your students will get the opportunity to see FameLab contestants tell their science stories in just three minutes or less with no jargon, and no PowerPoint. This event will inspire your students and expose them to some of the current research happening around Australia, with a focus on communicating that research in creative ways. This year we are including with the FameLab program, a STEM professionals’ This is My Life presentation that showcases inspiring women in STEM, modelling an exciting future in STEM study and careers.

What is FameLab?
It is increasingly important in science to be able to communicate your work to a broader audience. FameLab is the world’s leading science communication competition created by Cheltenham Festivals in the UK. The global competition finds and mentors young STEM – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – researchers with a knack for communication to share their stories with the world. FameLab contestants are armed only with their wits and a few props to describe their research – the result is an unpredictable, enlightening and exciting way to encourage curiosity and find out about the latest research.

The FameLab schools program is suitable for the entire class or a group of select students.

Unable to make to the FameLab schools program? Students, teachers and their families are welcome to attend the FameLab National Finals.
