Get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure on August 11th and 12th at the Green Room in Kings Park.
We're inviting primary schools to dive into a dynamic, hands-on STEM experience that blends science, sustainability, space exploration, and culinary creativity!
What’s in store for your budding astronauts? Over two action-packed hours, participants will become part of the Plants for Space team and embark on a creative ‘Grow for Launch’ mission.

- Designing zero-waste food crops for space!
After that, it’s time to get hands-on! Select from one of these exciting options tailored for your class group:
- Growing Space Food with Music: Join us for a fun-filled workshop that merges food, music, and science! Use real fruit to make awesome sounds while discovering how technology allows us to grow plants in space without soil
- Imagining Future Plants through DNA: Unleash your inner scientist in this eye-opening workshop! Get up close with real plant DNA as you extract and visualise the building blocks of life using microscopes and pipettes.
- STEM Kit Experiment: Start the adventure and take it back to your classroom! Become a Space Farmer by sowing Astro plant seeds in hydroponic units! Investigate the best conditions for sustainable growth, track your plants' progress, and get crafty by decorating your group's bottle.
