Come along to get hands-on with a diverse range of interactive science activities accessible to all ages. Activities will include: Yarning with Elders on bush foods and medicines, Indigenous astronomy, maths puzzles, making Aboriginal tools, physics and chemistry activities, and much more! You will also meet Indigenous Elders and student leaders from the National Indigenous Science Education Program who will be assisting in demonstrating the activities.
The event will begin with a traditional smoking ceremony and official welcome (10 am). There will also be the opportunity to purchase food and Aboriginal arts and crafts.
Organised by The National Indigenous Science Education Program, Microscopy Australia will be back this year with portable electron and light microscopes. Have something you would like to see under the microscope? Bring it along! If not, we’ll have plenty of animal and plant samples for you to look at.
