Young people will again have the chance to explore science through art! Building on from last year's success of scienceXart, the Australian Academy of Science is this year giving primary school students the chance to put thought into their food and create a plate, learning about the science of nutrition along the way.
In celebration of the United Nations International Year of Fruits and Vegetables, the 2021 competition theme is 'scienceXart: food for thought'. This art competition calls on primary school students to design a plate of food and get inspired to sink their teeth into the science of what they eat.
scienceXart is hosted by the expert members of the Academy's National Committee for Nutrition and supported by Dieticians Australia, an organisation of over 7500 dietetic and nutrition professions striving to build healthier communities. Together they aim to highlight the inherent creativity of the nutrition sciences to young people.
