Far Out Science is on again in 2026!

Registrations are now closed for primary students on Thu 5 Nov 2026. For secondary enquiries, please email us at faroutscience@une.edu.au.

Join us at UNE for a day of hands-on workshops where students take on experimental challenges and get to see what happens in real university science laboratories with the scientists who are at the forefront of research and education. Understand chemistry in our everyday lives, connect neural pathways in neuroscience, learn about the science of food, try and unravel forensics, build a rocket launcher, and discover other amazing things in physics, sports science, botany, agriculture, maths and IT and much, much more...

THURSDAY 5 November 2026 for primary students in Years 5 & 6.

FRIDAY 6 November 2026 for secondary students in Years 7-10.

Activities each day will begin at 9:30am in Lazenby Hall at the UNE campus in Armidale, NSW, and finish at 2.45pm.

Groups will be limited to 30 primary students (Years 5 and 6) and 30 secondary students (Years 7-10) per school. For schools with over 500 students, we may be able to accommodate larger groups. Please contact us on the email below for more information.

If you haven’t experienced Far Out Science at UNE before, now’s your chance!
