FAR Labs is a virtual laboratory platform connecting Australian high school students to state-of-the-art university research equipment for free.
The declining interest and participation of Australia students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) has potentially dire consequences for the continued prosperity of the country.
The development of high-speed internet access in Australia is leading to new means to engage and inspire students in science.
The Freely-Accessible Remote Laboratories (FAR Labs) project represents next-generation teaching methods by providing online access to modern research equipment within a guided, professionally supported environment. Developed in direct consultation with high school teachers, FAR Labs is a flexible, online environment for students, teachers and parents to interact with cutting-edge research equipment.
All you need is an internet connection. We can put real science at your fingertips.
