Ep.35 NYSF revisited

As the National Youth Science Forum again kicks off for 2018, we're looking back at a past episode where we chatted with Timothy Smith & Stephanie Terwindt about their student experiences in NYSF and how it helped their now awesome careers in STEM! While the content of the NYSF program has changed over the years, the impact of the experience is clearly still relevant. This episode looks at the positive impact that this enrichment experience can have on school students and how the skills they learn are highly beneficial for early career scientists.Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics EducationAbout the National Youth Science ForumFormed in 1984, the NYSF exists to inspire young Australians to value science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and its importance in our communities. Supported by Lockheed-Martin Australia, Rotary, the Australian National University and the University of QLD, the National Youth Science Forum’s residential STEM experiences are transformative for young Australians and encourage life-long learning.About the FizzicsEd PodcastWith interviews with leading science educators and STEM thought leaders, this science education podcast is about highlighting different ways of teaching kids within and beyond the classroom.
