In2science Peer Mentoring in Schools Program
In2science is an exciting and innovative program that gets to the heart of Science and Mathematics through the use of peer role models to engage with high school students and teachers.
Starting in 2004 as a joint venture between the Faculties of Science at La Trobe University and The University of Melbourne, In2science was joined by Monash University from semester 2, 2008.
In2science currently has partner schools
in both the metropolitan and regional areas of Victoria. Within these schools there are university
Science and Mathematics students who volunteer their time to work in the classroom for a few
hours each week. Here they are a role model for the students, inspiring them to raise their
aspirations and achieve their potential in these subjects.
"I would recommend any school to become involved in the In2science Program, it is an excellent opportunity for students. I recommend it highly and would encourage Science Coordinators to make it a priority for their department to become involved.”
