We are looking for parents, carers and community members who work in any scientific or science\u2011related field and would be willing to share their experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our aim is to showcase the many ways science is used beyond the classroom \u2013 highlighting real\u2011world applications, diverse career pathways and the creativity and curiosity that drive scientific thinking. By hearing directly from professionals, we hope to inspire our students to pursue senior science subjects and consider future careers in STEM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s national theme, Seeds of Science: Nurturing Knowledge for All, invites us to reflect on how ideas grow. Just as seeds need the right conditions to flourish, scientific understanding thrives when curiosity is encouraged, questions are explored, and knowledge is shared. The theme celebrates the journey from a spark of inquiry to discoveries that benefit the wider community, reminding us that science grows best through collaboration, creativity, and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Event details:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date<\/strong>: Wednesday 19 August<br><strong>Timing<\/strong>:&nbsp;5:30-7:30pm<br>(Light refreshments from 5:30pm, presentations begin at 6:00pm)<br><strong>Location<\/strong>: Lecture Theatre, Santa Sabina College<br><strong>Presentations<\/strong>: Six-10 minute talk, with slides, highlighting your work in a field of science.
