SCIENCE opportunity for grade 5 and 6 students:
CSIRO Young Future Shapers
Nominate a young person in Years 5-10 to get greater access to opportunities and strengthen their confidence, capability, and connection with STEM.
Young Future Shapers can get personalised support, meet likeminded kids and experts at a STEM Camp, bring a group on a learning adventure, or create their own prize pack.
We prioritise opportunities for underrepresented groups in STEM, including girls, Indigenous students, those from lower opportunity schools or regional areas.
The young person will need to complete part of the application. Please see the information below before applying.
Nominations close on 25 March.
The prizes
25 Young Future Shapers will be supported with an individualised success plan, invited to tailored virtual events and choose to:
- Attend a STEM Camp: Get the VIP treatment on a trip to meet other Future Shapers and experts. Go behind the scenes with bespoke STEM tours and activities designed to open minds, skillsets, and networks (and HAVE FUN!); OR
- Design a group adventure: Young Future Shapers can get everyone excited about their area of interest when they take a group (i.e. their class or youth activity group) on a tailor-made excursion, or have the experts come to them; OR
- Create a resource pack: Whether its scientific equipment, technology, books, tools, or other resources, they can shape their own prize to explore more at home.
To enter you must nominate your child or your child can nominate themselves. See the link below to submit an application:
