National Science Week is Australia’s annual celebration of science and technology.
This year, National Science Week is officially 9 to 17 August, but here in Tasmania, it is more like science month! In a typical year, there are 80-100 public events throughout August. Schools also get involved with many science events and activities for students.
Tasmania enjoys all types of events and activities, big and small. Young Tassie Scientists will be touring Tasmania, visiting schools and community groups, to share their love of science. Larger events this year include the Festival of Bright Ideas and Beaker Street Festival. The Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, the Hive Tasmania and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery also celebrate Science Week with a suite of events each year.
Tasmanian National Science Week program of events will be available from June 2025.
