Students at a Stawell secondary school have an opportunity to join an exploration of subatomic physics as Australian scientists venture up the Western Highway.
The National Quantum and Dark Matter Road Trip will visit Stawell this month as part of a 7000-kilometre, 19-day program.
Coinciding with National Science Week, from August 13 to 21, a team of scientists and science communicators from national research centres within the quantum physics and dark matter fields will visit Stawell Secondary College to inspire the next generation of Australian scientists.
Teacher Emma Gibson said with some of the touring scientists visiting the school this month, it was another opportunity to get younger students curious about dark matter and the universe.
