Welcome to the Molecular Space Kitchen,where chemistry meets cooking, meets outer space. What makes food taste good in zero gravity? How do you preserve flavour, colour and nutrition millions of kilometres from Earth? This two-hour workshop begins with a visit to the Cosmic Echoes Exhibition before moving to Molecular Space Kitchen, where you’ll discover the extraordinary…
Your crew has landed on the Moon. The oxygen is limited, the water is scarce, and your team is hungry. What do you grow first? Welcome to the Moon Base Challenge — where your decisions could save the mission! This action-packed two-hour workshop drops you straight into the boots of a real space mission…
Join us to explore the story of gravitational waves at the 2026 Claire Corani Memorial Lecture, part of the Australian Institute of Physics’s Marie Curie Lecture Series. This unique presentation weaves together sound, art, and astrophysics to explore the cosmic collisions that create the elements of which we are made. Through “multi-messenger” signals like kilonovae and gamma-ray bursts, discover…
What does STEM look like in our community? Join us for an exciting evening celebrating the diverse ways science, technology, engineering and maths shape the businesses around us. From cutting-edge microplastics research to robotics innovation destined for the Moon, we’ll explore two very different but equally fascinating sides of the STEM world. Hear directly from the…
Celebrate National Science Week in August with us at the Bond Street Event Centre for a major art exhibition about ‘Water’. Four Gippsland based artists will be exhibiting works related to the ‘Water’ theme. The collection of works will form the basis for an artist talk and panel discussion.

Could you design a robot to help in a disaster, explore underwater or travel through space? This National Science Week, join CSIRO Robot Responders and discover how science, technology and engineering come together to solve real-world challenges. Young people will step into the role of a CSIRO robotics engineer, designing robots to tackle missions inspired…
Do you have what it takes to be an astronaut? For children aged 7-11. Create a game using Scratch that will test if you have what it takes to be an astronaut! Also, see how far the International Space Station travels in the time it takes you to react. This project is suitable for beginners.
What do you eat when you’re two years from home and hurtling towards Mars? Come find out — and maybe even grow the answer yourself! UWA Plants for Space has landed in Geraldton, and we’re throwing open the doors of the Museum of Geraldton for two full days of free, drop-in, hands-on space science fun….
If you could redesign a plant from scratch for life in space, what superpower would you give it? Tougher roots? Leaves that glow? Fruit that grows in zero gravity? This is your chance to find out, and then actually build it. Welcome to Design Your Plant – the ultimate space science creativity challenge! This imaginative two-hour…
Red Dirt Poetry Festival will take wing with our opening night event: Passageways [Caminos] Our first event for the festival is Passageways [Caminos] where science meets poetry. This year, we have joined forces with Chile’s International Poetry Festival (ACRUX – Festival Internacional de Poesia) to create a unique cultural exchange, connecting communities from coasts to…
