Science Safari is one of the STEM popularisation events organised by the Science Centre, Pembroke (MALTA) within the Directorate for Learning and Assessment Programmes (DLAP) Ministry for Education. It targets Year 8 students some weeks before they complete their subject choices for the next three years of their secondary education. This is another way of engaging students in a positive STEM experience.

Science Safari is basically a science-related treasure hunt in which students (in teams of three) are asked to solve a number of science-related tasks. Previous Science Safari were all outdoor events held on a Saturday morning. Parents and teachers accompanying students participate in a guided tour along the nature trail. In the meantime, students go over the whole area in search of their answers.
