The Festival of Bright Ideas (FOBI) sparks the curious and creative mind to find out more about science and the world around them. Focusing on innovative and inspiring aspects of STEM (science, engineering, technology, and mathematics), it provides an educational, aspirational, and family-friendly experience for Tasmanian residents.
As Tasmania’s premier National Science Week event , patrons can meet scientists, see science in action, immerse themselves in the wonderful world of science, explore sustainability initiatives for a better world, and find out how Tasmanians contribute to the advancement of society.
STEM disciplines will be the bridge that carries us towards a bright, solutions focussed and innovative future. Through collaboration with leading Tasmanian STEM professionals, academics, education providers, and community leaders, FOBI seeks to make that future accessible to everyone.
