Challenge your understanding of nuclear science and technology with fun secondary school activities, exciting competitions and unique tours of our facilities.

Just under 250 schools in Australia and one school in Malaysia will participate in a series of science-based competitions during to coincide with National Science Week in 2024.

ANSTO Big Ideas encourages students to creatively communicate the work of an Australian scientist, and explain how their work has inspired them to come up with a Big Idea to make our world a better place. This competition is intended to engage and support Australian students in years 7-10 in Science and encourage them to pursue studies and careers in STEM.

Learn. Create. Innovate

In a world-first study, Australian environmental scientists have used cave stalagmites as a record of groundwater replenishment over time, that showed the current level of rainfall recharging groundwater in southwest WA is at its lowest for at least the last 800 years.

Accurate ‘fingerprinting’ tool to verify source of origin is in development with collaborators from academia and industry.

ANSTO scientists have been featured in the new issue of Careers with STEM Science, a publication produced for high school students, undergraduates and grads, careers advisors, teachers and parents to discover careers and study paths.

Virtual activities celebrating the benefits of nuclear science and technology held for National Science Week

Your students can analyse real research data from ANSTO scientists.

Read about an ANSTO scientist and their work to prepare for a school project or interview.

A large group of ANSTO environmental scientists and collaborators have produced the first groundwater stable isotopes, ‘isoscapes’, intuitive maps with grid data, across NSW combining new and pre-existing isotope measurements.

Today Dr Jenine McCutcheon from the University of Queensland’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences has been recognised for her outstanding research with the Australian Synchrotron's Stephen Wilkins Medal.

Young and mid-career ANSTO scientists and engineers have been featured in the latest issue of Careers with STEM that highlights careers in nuclear science.

Two Australian science teachers will have the chance to participate in a special two-week summer school at the Large Hadron Collider in July 2026.

Creative ideas are the spark for great innovations: this week students from across Australia got to share their ideas through ANSTO’s Big Ideas Forum.

The User Advisory Committee (UAC) are pleased to present this year's invited speakers.
