Design, Discover, and Share Science!

In celebration of��National Science Week 2025, the��Museum of Human Disease��invites high school students across New South Wales to take part in our��very first Scientific Poster Competition!

Are you ready to combine science, creativity and communication? Students will research a topic of their choice and turn it into an eye-catching��A3 scientific poster. This is your chance to show how science can solve problems, tell stories, and inspire curiosity.

🧪��What’s involved?

• Create an A3-sized poster using facts, diagrams, and your imagination

• Posters should focus on a science or health topic outlined in this brochure and be easy for others to understand

• 3 finalists from each stage group will be chosen to present their work at the��Museum of Human Disease��during our Science Week celebration

📅��Key Dates

• your school’s interest now!

• The competition officially opens��Monday 2 June��and submissions close on��Friday��4 July at 4pm

• Finalists will be invited to present at a special��symposium on 12 August��at the�����������¼� Museum of Human Disease

This event is open to��all students in Years 7–12 across NSW. Finalists will attend a special event at the museum with a��keynote science speaker, a tour of our unique collection, and the chance to meet other young science enthusiasts.

📥 To get started, register your school’s interest and we’ll send you an info pack with guidelines when the competition opens.

Don’t miss this fun and inspiring opportunity to��step into the shoes of a scientist��and share your passion for discovery. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Mark your calendars for 6th September and come in for a free visit to the Museum of Human Disease on ���������¼� Open Day!��

Stay tuned for events being held on the day!

Our work experience program runs in week 10 of each school term and places are strictly limited due to nature of our work and small team we have working here.��

The museum focus is in Science education, communication and outreach.�� We spend time developing and delivering content for the museum and research to put on our online platform and events.�� We are not a laboratory or practical-based work experience venue.��
