Young Scientists of Australia
MYSci is run by Monash Science in collaboration with the Young Scientists of Australia (YSA), Melbourne Chapter.
YSA is a national organisation dedicated to promoting science and technology and helping young Australians discover the fun of science.
If you’re aged 15–25 and passionate about science, you can join the YSA community! Connect with other young people interested in science, receive discounts on YSA events, stay up to date with the latest science research and get involved in science outreach opportunities. You can join the YSA community and mailing list here.
Cost
$130 per person
Location
MYSci is held within the Monash Science precinct, Monash University, Clayton campus. View the location here.
Safety
Some of the workshops will be in university laboratories. You are expected to observe standard safety procedures in these lab sessions, which will be explained at the beginning of each workshop. You must wear closed-toed shoes. We would appreciate it if you could also bring a lab coat and safety glasses with you each day.
Food
You will need to bring your own morning tea and lunch each day. There will be food provided for the Thursday afternoon BBQ. Please note any specific dietary requirements or allergies on the acceptance form.
Photography
Photographs and video footage may be taken during the event. Monash University may use, reproduce, publish or broadcast this content for promotional purposes. If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed for these purposes, please inform us at check-in on the first day.
