| Abstract: | Australia's rural population has little access to science centres, and science teachers in remote regions often lack opportunities for professional development. Ahead of world calls for increased popularisation of science and technology as well as more relevant classroom teaching, an outreach program of Questacon - Australia's Natural Science and Technology Centre, has been in place for 15 years, reaching out to disadvantaged populations. The program is unique in that it combines outreach with an academic program at the Australian National University. |
