Science Competition!

It's time for students with a knack for communicating, and budding filmmakers with an interest in science, to pull out their cameras.

About the Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize

Sponsored by the University of Sydney, the Sleek Geeks Science Eureka Prize encourages students to communicate a scientific concept in a way that is accessible and entertaining to the public while painlessly increasing their science knowledge or, as prize patrons Dr Karl and Adam Spencer like to say, "Learn something without even noticing". It is intended to support budding young scientists across the nation, who will be our future leaders in research, discovery and communication.

The 2024 theme is 'Energy'

This year's theme has been selected for its wide scope of interpretation. There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to selecting a topic, but students are encouraged to get creative!

Among other things, judges will be assessing each entrant's passion for their chosen topic, so students should carefully consider how they will explore the theme. They may wish to start by taking one minute to write down words they associate with the word 'energy' and discussing their list with a teacher or guardian.
