For the Public and Schools

Anyone can get involved in multiple ways. Explore what science has to offer, participate in events, try our STEM kits and share the experience.

CDU Science Outreach Course

Learn to create and deliver your own Science Outreach program. Each year university STEM students join the Inspired NT roadshow, visiting remote schools and libraries and honing their STEM communication skills. In 2023 we visited Batchelor, Douglas Daly, Pine Creek, Barunga, Mataranka, Elliot and Katherine.
