The declining interest and participation of Australia students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) has potentially dire consequences for the continued prosperity of the country.
The development of high-speed internet access in Australia is leading to new means to engage and inspire students in science.
The Freely-Accessible Remote Laboratories (FAR Labs) project represents next-generation teaching methods by providing online access to modern research equipment within a guided, professionally supported environment. Developed in direct consultation with high school teachers, FAR Labs is a flexible, online environment for students, teachers and parents to interact with cutting-edge research equipment.
All you need is an internet connection. We can put real science at your fingertips.
