LabRats Science Club - Seriously curious since 2010.
our mission
We are seriously curious.
The LabRats Science Club is a community of Year 5 to Year 8 members who:
- get to meet with awesome researchers from diverse fields of science
- share the same enthusiasm and passion for learning
- investigate and experiment to explore the wonder that is our World
- believe in the importance of paying-it-forward
Join our community and start your adventure!

Each month, Superstar Scientists join the LabRats Science Club to meet at the Australian Synchrotron in Clayton.
This world-class science facility, supports a broad range of high-quality research across medicine, nanotechnology, manufacturing and mineral exploration. Amongst its many benefits is that it can produce a powerful source of light a million times brighter than the sun.
The facility also offers specialised science education programs for secondary school students, teachers and the public. These run in partnership with Swinburne University of Technology and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) ,
Free guided tours of the Australian Synchrotron are offered six times a year on Saturdays for any member of the general public that are 12 years or older. Bookings essential.

LabRats Science Club operates out of our parent PrimeSCI! offices at Swinburne's Wantirna Campus.
PrimeSCI! delivers exciting programs to ignite STEM curiosity in classrooms and develop the next generation of scientists. These include school holiday workshops, family science nights and primary school science incursions in Melbourne and around Victoria.
As well as schools, PrimeSCI! works with local communities, museums, universities, and governments worldwide, bringing them together to enrich understanding of science and technology.
Many hopeful young LabRats begin their science journey at PrimeSCI!'s hands-on holiday workshops. We love a familiar face so become a regular. Join the PrimeSCI! mailing list for upcoming sessions and science-filled events near you!
