About the Year 9 / 10 Careers in Science Camp
The Year 9/10 Careers in Science Camp is organised through our partner Activity Centre, PICSE GrowSmart. In 2011 the camp will be held from the 14th to 17th of June.
Meet scientists, find out about career opportunities, try the technology and learn about South Australian science. It’s a real world experience that could influence your career.
On this camp students spend a week with 30 like minded people exploring science in the primary industries sector. Students visit industry and research organisations in the Riverland, Barossa Valley, Adelaide, the southern region and the Adelaide Plains. There’s also a day at Flinders University and the Waite Research Institute.
