The Einstein-First Project | Every child has the right to share our best understanding of physical reality
The Einstein-First project began by developing innovative methods for teaching school-age children the concepts of Einsteinian physics – curved space, warped time, photons, black holes and quantum entanglement. The project led to an international research collaboration and a new partnership with education authorities and Western Australian primary and secondary schools, that is developing and implementing an Einsteinian science curriculum from Years 3 to 10.
