The Griffith Science Education Alliance (GSEA) is a collaborative partnership between Griffith University, the Queensland Department of Education and Training, Education Queensland, the Gold Coast City Council and the Science Teachers Association of Queensland. It provides a coherent, coordinated, region-wide approach to science education and science outreach in the South-East Education Region of Queensland. More than 150 000 students, teachers and members of the public have participated in GSEA activities over the past eight years.
Established in 2005, the GSEA employs Griffith’s science outreach program, Science on the GO! (SOTG), to provide local schools with access to engaging science experiences and in-depth, ongoing, innovative approaches to science education which take advantage of the expertise, resources and infrastructure available at Griffith University. This provides experiences for teachers, students and others that are beyond their own financial and human resource capabilities.
