Science Talent search

The Science Talent Search (STS) is an annual, science-based competition open to all primary and secondary students in Victoria.  The Science Talent Search aims to stimulate an ongoing interest in the study of sciences by encouraging independent self-motivated project work and providing students the opportunity to communicate their achievements to a wider audience. 

The STS theme for 2023 is ‘Innovations: Powering future industries’
