Caitlin Rowlatt and Lennon Logan of Bendigo Senior Secondary College will attend the 12-day event, which takes place in January.
The students will travel to Canberra for the opportunity.
Like the rest of the attendees, Caitlin and Lennon will be studying Year 12 in 2017.
The forum aims to inspire students to pursue their passions for science, technology, engineering and maths by showcasing study and career options.
Rotary District 9800 is sponsoring both Bendigo students to attend.
“Caitlin and Lennon will have the chance to work alongside experts in their respective fields as well as have access to industry and university laboratories that would not otherwise be open to them,” Rotary Club of Bendigo Strathdale youth director Lynne Cooper said.
More than 1200 young people applied to attend the forum in 2014-15, according to the 2015 Annual Report.
Forty-three per cent of participants that year came from regional and rural areas.
