The Australian Science Olympiads have been run for many years, whereby highly motivated students in Australian high schools compete to be selected to be part of the team to represent Australia at the International Science Olympiads. We talk with Aly Weirman, Executive Director of Australian Science Innovations to learn more! Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education About the Australian Science Olympiads The Australian Science Olympiad Exams are challenging but rewarding online exams held once a year in the following disciplines:

• Junior (for Year 7 – 10)
• Physics
• Biology
• Earth and Environmental Science
• Chemistry

All students who wish to be considered for stage two and three of the program must sit the exam. Students may sit more than one exam. Following the completion of the exams, students may be offered a place in our pathway programs. All programs are invitation-only. Following the completion of the exams, students may be offered a place in the pathway programs. All programs are  invitation-only. Each of these programs is a chance or students to further extend themselves in their discipline, connect with subject experts, and develop new friendships with like-minded students from across the country.
