Did you know it's been 12 months since they've been allowed to step into a school? We are very excited. Here are some happy snaps of science demonstrations, how to be a good mentor and a workshop on the transferability of #STEM skills from University of Melbourne facilitated by In2science UoM Coordinator Hayden Dalton and Schools Outreach Coordinator Julia Cleghorn. From Hayden, "(It) was so great to have mentors back on campus and have the opportunity to meet and learn from each other in person. The science demonstrations included me putting my life in the hands of the mentor team to verify some physics magic."
