Young Scientist Awards 2009
The STANSW Young Scientist Awards is a major project of the Science Teachers’ Association of New South Wales (STANSW). Young Scientist offers students from Kindergarten to Year 12 worthwhile incentives to carry out scientific investigations. Students carry out scientific investigations as part of their school’s science program that are designed to support the NSW Board of Studies K-12 science syllabuses. The major winning entries will be entered for the BHP Billiton Science Awards.

The judging is undertaken by current school teachers, other educators and by a large number of trainee/new scheme teachers from the University of Western Sydney. Supervision is provided by experienced educational processionals who have extensive experience in judging this competititon. Please listen to my podcast about the judging process below.
