Cutting Edge Science Professional Learning Days

The Southern SCIPP (Science Centre for Innovation and Professional Practice) will again be organising these highly successful professional learning days for both primary and secondary teachers to be held on the 2nd December (Gold Coast) and 4th December (Nathan). 

The aim of these days is to expose teachers to current developments in science research and innovation. Previous events have resulted in a strong response from both teachers (over 100 attendees) and from Griffith staff. These days will be greatly beneficial in keeping teachers up to date with current developments in science as well as promoting Griffith University.

Academics are invited to hold workshops/lectures/lab experiences for teachers explaining/demonstrating what is happening with their research and/or within their fields of science at these events this year.

*Please note that you are free to choose the type of presentation or activity regarding your research
