National Science Week: 13–21 August 2022 Australia Wide
National Science Week is Australia’s annual celebration of science and technology. It features more than 1,000 events around Australia located at universities, schools, research centres, libraries, museums, and science centres.
National Science Week aims to encourage an interest in science pursuits among the general public, and to encourage younger people to be fascinated by the world we lived in. The events attract a wide audience from children to adults, science amateurs to professionals.
National Science Week is a great way to engage with your local community and learn something new. Learning can give us power in our lives. It helps us make connections with liked-minded people and the world around us. There is a lot of research that suggests learning keeps you brain young and fit, especially when you find the learning somewhat challenging and persevere to succeed.
There are so many events available throughout Australia - both online and locally. For example, in the Sydney region there are 91 local events. If you can’t get out or prefer online learning, there are 110 online events available such as:
- The Science of Coral Reef Recovery with Taronga Zoo
- Using LEGO Education to Teach Science
- Indigenous Practices Meet Sustainable Fishing
- The Big Brain Experiment – 5 Mini Missions into the Mind
So, if anyone is looking for something to do this week there are plenty of free and interesting science opportunities to be had across Australia!
