Deaf Youth Science Camp is back for 2026! Deaf Youth Science Camp (DYSC) is a fun 4-day immersive science experience for Deaf/hard-of-hearing young people (aged 12-17 years old). Held at ANSTO at Lucas Heights, Sydney, the camp is a mix of hands-on science activities, outdoor activities and excursions to nearby science centres. Participants will work with Deaf professionals to learn about careers in STEM, develop personal and leadership skills and meet new friends. This camp is hosted by Deaf Youth Australia and ANSTO, and funded by a National Science Week grant.
