The National Maths Summer School, the Australian Science Olympiad and the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF), all converged on ANU as a venue for their summer programs this year.

Director of Science Education, Professor Barbara van Leeuwen said the programs gives students from around the country the opportunity to experience the outstanding science facilities at ANU.

“These are some of the best and brightest young students in Australia, so it’s great to be able to give them a feel for university life and meet our expert researchers,” Professor van Leeuwen said.

“The students get to stay on campus and experience what it’s like to study at ANU.”

Whilst on campus the students attended a range of educational, formal, personal development, and social activities.
