These sessions make up the third and final part of the data analysis advice series run by the University of Sydney for HSC Science Extension students. The Faculty of Science presents these free after school sessions where individual HSC Science Extension high school students from NSW can sign-up to hear from tutoring data scientists from the University of Sydney. Students will book into a half hour time slot with a small number of other students so that they can get personalised advice and recommendations for their own investigation data.

  • Dates: 10, 11, 24 and 18 June 2026
