Eligibility
If you are a year 10, year 11 or year 12 student in 2025 in Australia with an interest in STEM, we welcome you to the NYSF STEM Hubs!
The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) STEM Hubs are designed to give students a broader understanding of the diverse study and career options available in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and to encourage continued studies in these fields.
What is a STEM Hub?
A STEM Hub is a non-residential STEM experience where you can connect with STEM pathways and careers around Australia. You’ll join exclusive behind-the-scenes experiences typically inaccessible to the public and connect with STEM professionals—a crucial networking opportunity for your future.
Whether you’re passionate about robotics, biomedicine, astronomy, biology, or anything in between, there’s a STEM Hub waiting to show you what a STEM career is really like!
Participants have the opportunity to:
- participate in tours of science and technology facilities,
- learn about cutting-edge research,
- engage with industry partners and research providers,
- learn about university, training and STEM career pathways,
- mix with other like-minded students from all over Australia, and
- attend social activities.
NYSF reserves the right to refuse the enrolment of any Participant if the Participant does not meet the eligibility guidelines, due to operational reasons, or where the Participant has previously breached NYSF’s Codes of Conduct.
