Bendigo-based Energy Breakthrough student, Hugh, is running a survey as part of his Year 12 VCE Extended Investigation Project. To help Hugh out, he's seeking survey responses from 12 - 18 year olds who have participated in the Energy Breakthrough in the past. We here at the Energy Breakthrough LOVE helping students' learning, so if you're aged between 12 and 18 (or know some students who are!), please take the time help out Hugh.

The Energy Breakthrough event in Maryborough is proving to be as popular as ever - from city to country, across State, Independent and Catholic schools, whether tiny, small, medium and large.

Eppalock Primary School's Pushcart team have been awarded a coveted CSIRO Blue CREST Award!

CREST stands for Creativity in Research, Engineering, Science and Technology.
Leading a team through the Energy Breakthrough can be richly rewarding and demanding – so it can be wonderful to have support from outside of your school to help give advice and extra input. Our Energy Breakthrough Mentor Program - set to re-launch in Term 3 this year - promises to offer up to 20 interested schools that support. Team Managers should complete an Expression of Interest form today!
