Scholarship Winners

John and Robin de Laeter secondary and tertiary student scholarships

The Gravity Discovery Centre (GDC) has established scholarships for secondary and tertiary science students to recognize the huge contribution to science education in Western Australia made by the late Professor John de Laeter and his wife Robin.  The scholarship is designed to enable students studying science to work with scientists from Curtin University and/or University of Western Australia and staff at the Gravity Discovery Centre to plan and install an exhibit or activity which will be accessed by tens of thousands of visitors to the GDC and help motivate and educate school students visiting the Centre.
