UTS Science is dedicated to showcasing science and mathematics through outreach programs, innovative projects and government initiatives, all aimed at high school level.

• Outreach Programs

  Large numbers of outreach programs and on-campus school visits are organised annually. The objective is to stimulate high school students' interest in pursuing studies in science and mathematics at secondary school and later at university. Through interactive and hands on workshops, science and technology is experienced as interesting, challenging but fun, relevant yet achievable!
