The Tasmanian National Science Week program of events is available here and will continue to be updated as more events are announced.
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 events throughout August, for the public as well as in schools.
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. Each year there are event held all around Tasmania.
Get involved! Follow our social media to get updates on all things #scienceweek in Tassie! Hope to see you at one of the events in August! Or download the poster and pop it up in your office, workplace or school.
