Schools Program Welcome

The University of Adelaide's Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences invites primary and secondary teachers and their students to be part of the Schools Program. The Faculty offers tours on an informal basis, when approached by interested schools, however, we also have a formal program of activities, making them as interactive and hands-on as possible. 

Experiences such as these will provide students with more information as they make subject and eventually career choices.

A range of activities and talks are available to help educate students on the diverse and dynamic programs available within the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences. As students discover more about the choices available, they will be better prepared to make decisions about their school subjects and what programs they might consider at University.

The Faculty is thrilled to offer primary schools the opportunity to have the Sydney Olympic torch at their next Sports Day! 

The combustion technology that kept the Olympic torch burning in Sydney and Athens was developed by University of Adelaide engineers and would be a fitting addition to any school sporting event.

In addition, a selection of activities suitable for primary school students are available. Activities and talks are informal, fun and interesting using a 'show and tell' approach to excite students about technology, engineering, maths and computer science. Playing with robots and learning how quicksand works are just two examples of fun ways to inspire young minds. Contact Jade Harmer to learn more.
