PrimeSCI! Australian Synchrotron Workshops - April 2025

What to Expect: 

We invite your students to join PrimeSCI! forour Light It Up (Year 9 - 10) and  Synchrotron and its Applications (Year 11 & 12)  hands-on physics lab sessions. Participants can take part in experiments using specialised equipment to learn about the interaction of light and energy, nuclear physics, radioactivity and dark matter. The programs also include a tour of the Australian Synchrotron - a rare chance to see this world class facility. 

Funded Places: A limited number of fully funded places are available for participants to attend the PrimeSCI! Synchrotron Tours and Lab Sessions, who would not be able to attend without financial support.
