Year 11 Nuriootpa High School students Lilli and Luci have been accepted to attend the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) in Brisbane in January.

The forum will enable students to immerse themselves in a wide range of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) experiences while staying in university accommodation and participating in hands-on activities, workshops and other inspiring STEM-focussed learning opportunities.

Applications to attend the forum were open nation-wide, and involved an intensive multi-step process. As successful applicants Lilli and Luci will represent Nuriootpa High School at the week-long forum, with a portion of their travel expenses generously supported by the Rotary Club of Barossa Valley (50% funding for each student) and The Barossa Council ($500 for each student).
