✤ The School Context

✤ Outreach programs currently running

✤ NVSES program

Who can be involved?

The program would suit:

★ Year 10 students – individuals or groups of up to 25 students

★ Students seeking extension opportunities in science, who are genuinely interested in science and are self-motivated

★ Schools that would like to provide a Professional Development opportunity for their teachers in the emerging sciences, and in remote delivery of science

How is it delivered?

Modules run for 8 weeks

Two 1-hour synchronous lessons each week along with homework

Students participate in live lessons via web video-conferencing and collaboration tools

No fees for students or school for access to curriculum and resources

Students receive an NVSES report for each module completed

What is needed to participate? High-speed internet access: NBN or high-speed

broadband

Normal school connection should cope with small groups of students (up to 5-10). Larger student numbers may depend on whole school usage at the time (e.g. if other classes are accessing multimedia resources that also require high bandwidth).

✤ Students: access to individual or shared computers/laptops (with integrated webcams and headsets, or plug and play video & audio capabilities)

✤ Open access to online resources (school firewalls and content filters enabled for access)

✤ A liaison teacher and access to local school technical ICT support
