In primary schools, the Questacon Science Circus presenters use familiar, everyday materials to demonstrate a variety of scientific principles like flight, sound, and forces.

The Questacon Science Circus is set to visit the region next month, offering students and community members an exciting opportunity to engage with science through fun, hands-on experiences.

This engaging outreach program will deliver free STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) experiences across the region that include science shows in local primary schools and Pop-up Science Centre events for the wider community.

“The Questacon Science Circus is committed to making science accessible and enjoyable for everyone,” Questacon Science Circus Team Leader Leisha Duncan said.

“By providing opportunities for exploration and discovery, the Questacon Science Circus aims to foster engagement with STEM in the world around us.”
