Step into a world of light, colour, and cosmic curiosity at Refreshing Memories (The STEM Shop) this National Science Week! Join us for a free, hands-on science event where curious minds of all ages can build their own kaleidoscope and use it to explore and photograph the natural world in surprising new ways. Discover how light bends, how animals see, and how patterns in nature reveal the hidden language of the universe.

Based in the heart of Adelaide’s northern suburbs, Refreshing Memories is more than just a shop—it’s an inclusive, sensory-friendly community space filled with science, creativity, and wonder. Known for our supportive environment, affordable STEM resources, and neurodivergent-friendly layout, we’re a go-to destination for families, educators, and explorers of all ages. At Refreshing Memories, we don’t just welcome difference—we embrace it.

During National Science Week, our store transforms into a vibrant science playground with interactive displays, reflection stations, optical illusions, and a carnival mirror trail. Submit your favourite kaleidoscope photo to be displayed in our shopfront window and be in the running to win a prize. Come decode the universe with us—through lenses, creativity, and the joy of hands-on discovery. No bookings or cost—just drop in and explore!
