Get ready to become a scientist for the afternoon.

The Kids STEM Festival Kalgoorlie is bringing you a fun and free hands-on science workshop you won’t want to miss. In this exciting session, you’ll team up with an adult (like your mum, dad, carer, or grandparent) and dive into the world of DNA – the stuff that makes you you!

You’ll get to squish up strawberries, mix in special ingredients, and watch real DNA appear right in front of your eyes. It’s like a science magic trick – but it’s all real!

You’ll also learn why DNA is important, how scientists use it to discover new things, and why your body is like a super cool instruction manual made up of tiny building blocks.

This workshop is designed for adults and children to explore science together, side by side. Spots are limited, so book in quick and come ready to experiment!

Who can come?
Kids aged 6–14 and their adults (parents, carers, aunties, uncles – anyone who’s curious about science!).

What to expect:

• Do a real DNA extraction
• Use strawberries to uncover invisible science
• Learn fun facts about your body and genetics
• Work like a real scientist

Best of all? It’s completely FREE!
