Questacon in conjunction with the Office of the Governor General is excited to present the 2022 Governor-General’s Design Challenge. This live one hour virtual workshop is set to be a valuable experience for upper primary students. They will use design thinking in a hands-on and highly interactive way for deeper learning about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Join Questacon and Their Excellencies, the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd), Governor- General of the Commonwealth of Australia, and Mrs Hurley, as they beam into your classroom for an exciting journey of tinkering, experimenting and exploring how light interacts with glass.

A link to the Zoom room and teacher resources will be provided closer to the event, which will be held on Friday 19 August.
