The Science Inspiration
Overview

The Science Inspiration: inspiring people, inspiring achievements, inspiring you.
Formerly known as the October Lecture, the annual Science Inspiration presentation is an RiAus premium event for students featuring high profile speakers who have made a significant contribution to science. These are special people: engaging, exciting, dynamic and, most importantly, truly inspirational. They’ll share their personal stories, struggles and triumphs, offering you and your students a window into their world.
Featuring demonstrations, anecdotes and interaction, the Science Inspiration gives you, and your students, access to some of the world’s most brilliant minds. Learn about amazing scientific achievements and get to know the person behind the work. Through livestreaming and online chat, they will step directly into your classroom anywhere in Australia.
