Science Drama Awards 2015

Among many educational initiatives supported by Australian Skeptics is the annual Science Drama Awards.

[slideshow]

Audience members at 2015’s Finals evening commented:

“The Science Drama Awards are a wonderful night and great credit must go to all participants. For me, the standout was the Nanneella Primary School. They had such infectious enthusiasm and their costumes were absolutely spectacular.”

and

“It was a great night with some outstanding ideas by both primary and secondary schools. It was fascinating and rewarding to see students display their grasp of various scientific ideas and present them in an entertaining way. Hopefully, some will continue to help spread science in interesting ways that help capture the public’s interest.”
