BHP Billiton Science Awards

The BHP Billiton Science Awards are Australia’s most prestigious science awards for students. They reward young people who have undertaken practical research projects that demonstrate innovative investigative approaches using scientific methods.

The BHP Billiton Science Teacher Awards recognise outstanding contributions made by classroom teachers to science education. Science Teachers Associations in each state are invited to nominate one teacher, chosen for their excellence in teaching, their support of open-ended student investigations and their suitability to represent their state or territory. Teachers must have a minimum of 50% teaching load.

The BHP Billiton Science Awards are a partnership between BHP Billiton, CSIRO, and The Australian Science Teachers Association (ASTA).
