Over the last 9 years In2science has been the outstanding peer mentoring program in supporting science education in Australia, and has played a critical role in addressing the decline of secondary school science participation in STEM subjects. The In2science program has been a genuine partnership, with multiple universities and schools working together to improve enthusiasm and outcomes in the middle years of science and maths education. Over the duration of the program more than 50,000 students have enjoyed a different science experience thanks to the efforts of 1,900 Mentor volunteers. Feedback about the program has been overwhelmingly positive. The full impact of the program in terms of increased uptake of science courses and the secondary or tertiary level cannot be assessed accurately, but is substantial. The In2science program faced enormous challenges, not least of which was its own spectacular growth.
