Primary Industry Centre for Science Education (PICSE)
PICSE (www.picse.org) is a national strategy of collaboration between universities, their regional communities and local primary industries, to attract students into tertiary science and to increase the number of skilled professionals in agribusiness and research institutions. The primary industries targeted by PICSE are those which focus on the sciences of agriculture, aquaculture, ecology, horticulture, fisheries, water security, sustainability, climate change and the environment.
PICSE has activity centres at universities around Australia with CSU being the most recent addition. Activities coordinated by the activity centre include:
- Science Investigation Awards
- Industry Science Camps
- Professional development for teachers in practical industry settings
- Industry placement for Year 11 and 12 science students
- Development of curriculum based science resources
