Far from being about simply "knowing" a lot of stuff, science is the process by which we find stuff out. And far from being dry, boring or "too hard", science is cool, creative and can be done by us all. We know all of this, because we're scientists. And we're excited, because we can see that many more school communities, teachers, students and parents appreciate the value and opportunity provided by science too, and recognise the need to innovate in science education and engagement. MSchool's purpose is to supercharge the way that students and teachers experience science inquiry and practice, and to engage children from all around Australia in our authentic research projects through our unique after-school, home-school and school holiday science programs.

We do because we're real research scientists, working each day on real science. We teach because we love sharing our passion, and because we know that the future success of our industry, economy and world depends on the scientific skills and literacy of the next generation. Our great adventure in building MSchool was launched with our love of microbiology, the science we practise each day, and which touches virtually every aspect of all of our lives. Drawing on our expertise, we develop authentic and contemporary research-focused teaching materials, teacher and lab technician professional development programs and unique incursions, excursions, after-school science programs and school holiday workshops.

MSchool is our contribution to the now and to the future of teaching and learning science. 

We support teachers as they embrace new ways of teaching science, especially inquiry-based, research-focused, student-centred learning. 

We provide students with authentic experience of science as it's practised, and new opportunities to embrace and appreciate the creativity of science. 

We build communities of schools, teachers, students and scientists sharing their passion for the great adventure of science.
