Cultivating scientists of the future

At its heart, science is a practical, hands-on subject. Scientists must explore, test, experiment and investigate over time and across nations to gain new insights of how we humans, and the world around us works. However, the amazing careers and opportunities in science are not always reflected in the science taught in school. In particular, the practical science in schools often lags behind the amazing and intriguing work happening in science labs and universities. If we want a creative, curious and energetic science base for our nations in the future, we must remedy this. We must also make policy makers aware of the need to invest in science centres who can deliver this for their nations.
