Mike Roach
In the early 1990s Mike Roach realised that space and astronomy ignited a passion in his students for learning about science.
Today, Mike has brought space science into much of the science curriculum at Hamilton Secondary School in Adelaide and runs an annual space science school in South Australia, now in its ninth year.
He is a passionate advocate for improving the science and technology curriculum and a mentor for teachers, both in his state and nationally.
