Description
Australia has a rapidly growing high energy physics community members of which contribute broadly to outreach within the country and internationally. This talk will cover activities such as the Masterclass initiative which is being trialled by the government of New South Wales. With ongoing support from researchers who "meet" with the students via teleconference we are testing providing the masterclass experience to students in high schools over the course of a semester. Other national outreach initiatives at festivals (such as preparations for WOMAdelaide 2017), in exhibitions ('Hadron Collider' in Brisbane and 'Supersymmetry' in Hobart) and in competitions (such as 'Collision') will be covered.
