National Science Week – DCCEEW Questacon takeover!

Dept of Climate Change, Energy, Environment & Water

On Saturday 19 August, we’re taking over Questacon to celebrate National Science Week. This spectacular event will showcase DCCEEW science that supports our work in leading Australia’s response to climate change and sustainable energy use, and protecting our environment, heritage and water.

Dive into a virtual reality tour of the Great Barrier Reef, experience a mini expedition camp and discover a new species, visit Antarctica, and check out some thermal drones and more!

Some of the day’s highlights:

  • Go on an expedition with Bush Blitz
  • Hear ‘Bry the Fly Guy’ talk entomology and how it’s like real life Pokemon
  • Learn from sustainability expert Professor Veena Sahajwalla
  • See the amazing work that is the Lake Eyre First Nations songlines tapestry
  • Chill in the Antarctica themed moonscape with games and activities for younger scientists
  • Get hands on with AI and omics, and see the latest in drone technology that is used to protect Kakadu

Looking forward to seeing our future scientists there!
