  • About In2science

    In2science places volunteer university students as mentors in year 7-10 science, maths and STEM elective classes. The mentors act as learning coaches and role models, increasing student engagement and confidence in STEM. Find out more at http://in2science.org.au/get-involved/host-a-mentor/

    Semester 1 2027 (School Terms 1 & 2)

    Mentor visits will commence in term 1 and continue into term 2. Mentors normally visit the class once per week for up to 10 weeks, but this can potentially be extended.
