The Aims of the In2science Program 11 Growths and statistics 12 Stakeholder Perspectives 15 Feedback Survey Results 15 Management Structure 21 Discussion & Futures 24 Appendix A – In2science Board Members 26 Appendix B – Academic Publications about and resulting from In2science 7 2 Appendix C – List of participating schools 28 Appendix D – Regional Roadshows 32 Appendix E – Resources 34 Appendix F – Award winners 35 3 4 Executive Summary This report looks back on the In2science program, its inception, growth, achievements and the challenges faced along the way. 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.
