Enterprise Education project

The project, Enterprising Research Education: Supporting Real World Science in Schools, gives secondary school students authentic learning opportunities in natural resource management science by helping them to develop dynamic and future-orientated research skills.

These outcomes are achieved through an innovative partnership between the department, Education Queensland, a consortium of local schools (Indooroopilly Cluster of Schools—Partnership in Science Project) and Regional NRM Bodies.

The project is exploring a range of frameworks for developing research skills in students wanting to pursue research-related positions in industry and research organisations. It provides real life science experiences for science teachers engaged in professional development and postgraduate studies in current research practice.
