Saturday 19 August

Redfern Community Centre Indigenous Science Experience, Australian Museum Sydney Science Trail, Parramatta Family Science Day

If you would like more details about these events and others available outside of Sydney, here is a useful starting point.

Note: while most of the events are free, they often book out quickly, so register soon.

Also, a reminder that Year 5-6 and Year 7-12 are encouraged to enter the Super Science Bake Off. (Entries due on Tuesday 15 August).

During the week staring Monday 21 August, students are encouraged to attend lunchtime Science workshops. These include activities such as holding fire on your hands, a cane-toad dissection, Physics Phun, training an AI generator to detect broken bones, and finally, a mega volcanic explosion!

We are all super excited! Looking forward to sharing the fun with you all!
