Virtual Event

Whats new in 2026?

Additional submission formats

For students in Years K–10, the program now accepts a wider range of submission formats, including posters, templated tables, and slide decks, alongside traditional written reports. Some suggested formats can be found on the Young Scientist Resources page. This change is intended to support more accessible and flexible ways for students to communicate their work, while maintaining a focus on evidence, reasoning, and clear explanation.

Climate Action Focus Area
A new suite of prizes recognises student projects that address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO₂). Projects may contribute directly or indirectly—for example, by improving the efficiency of energy or resource use, or by developing innovative solutions that support more sustainable systems.
See the Prizes page for full details and eligibility.

Recognition plays a powerful role in inspiring young people. Receiving a prize builds confidence, validates effort, and encourages students to see themselves as scientists and innovators. For many, the experience of being recognised at a state level becomes a defining moment that motivates further learning and future pathways in STEM. With over 100 monetary prizes awarded each year across primary and secondary categories, the Young Scientist Program ensures that a wide range of students across NSW are celebrated.
