The Science Experience is a summer holiday program, designed to provide students about to enter year 9, who have an interest in science with an opportunity to engage in a wide range of fascinating science activities under the guidance of scientists who love their work.

The program takes place in over thirty-five universities and tertiary institutions, within many different laboratories and lecture theatres.
Participants perform experiments in the laboratories, meet and hear senior lecturers in the lecture theatres, attend site visits and walk
around and experience what it is like to be on the campus of a university or tertiary institution. More than 45,000 Year 9 students have taken this rare opportunity, up to date.

The program also provides information about further studies in science, technology and engineering. It highlights the wide range of careers that allow students to pursue their interest and abilities in the sciences.

One aspect of the programs often commented on by participants is the opportunity to meet and share ideas with students from different schools. Each program includes a BBQ or other social activity.
