Inspiring Australia's next generation to use science to tackle the world's challenges keeps Alice Leung finding creative new ways to teach her students.
The high school teacher is one recipient of the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science, scooping the award for secondary school teaching for her innovative methods.
Whether it's using chocolate chip muffins to show sustainability issues caused by mining or teaching algebra via how the pandemic spread, Ms Leung wants her students to know how science can shape the future.
Teaching at Concord High School, where around 70% students are from non-English speaking backgrounds,
Ms Leung has been recognised for creating a program to teach technical science terms to her students.
"You learn conversational English first, but the academic language has to come later and often it takes about seven years from the arrival to Australia for them to pick that up," she said.
"It's a challenge, and what I like to do is gamify the process."
