Overview: This paper reports on a novel project aimed at having a positive impact on the "People shortage" within the minerals and energy sector in Australia. In response to a downturn of students enrolling in the "Enabling sciences" (chemistry, physics and mathematics), a government funded research centre, a university science department and several industry partners collaborated in a teacher professional development program. The aim was to highlight the value of applied science in contributing to the nation's wealth as well as to showcase a variety of high tech, science-rich career opportunities for school students.
