AISNSW Science Conference 2025

The Power of Big Ideas


With the theme of The Power of Big Ideas, our conference will feature inspiring keynote presentations and workshops tailored specifically to the key changes in the new 7-10 and draft Stage 6 Syllabuses. The program will not only include workshops on the Depth Studies and Data Science, but will also provide essential updates about the draft Science 11-12  syllabuses. Even more importantly, the annual Science Conference provides a platform for you to enhance your knowledge, exchange ideas, and connect with each other.

This professional learning has a duration of 5 1/2 hours and falls under the Priority Area of Delivery and Assessment of NSW Curriculum. As part of NESA maintenance of accreditation requirements, teachers may record this learning in their NESA online account or their own personal log.
