Tasmanian Science Talent Search
Click here for information on the presentation day 2009

 Searching for Science Talent for over 50 years.   ABN - 97 660 939 433

      What is the TSTS?

 
  • The Tasmanian Science Talent Search (TSTS) is an initiative of the Science Teachers' Association of Tasmania (STAT),

 
  • The TSTS promotes quality science education in government and non-government schools through the recognition of outstanding work in a variety of fields.

 
  • The TSTS is open to all Tasmanian students from early childhood classes to grade 12.

 
  • We have added a 'Research Page' which includes links to articles from the STATIC magazine, previous Judge's Comments plus other relevant information regarding the Research Investigations category of TSTS.

  • We have recently added a new 'Technology Page' that has classroom ideas, project examples, and links to a  QandA section. So if you have any questions that can be included here, e-mail the Director via stsearch@bigpond.net.au .
