National Science Week is Australia’s annual celebration of science and technology. Running each year in August, it features more than 2,000 events around Australia.

From hands-on explorations of the science, to the mathematics of quilting, to adults-only talks about animal reproduction, there's an event to suit just about everyone! Over three million people participate in science events throughout Australia.

National Science Week aims to:

• spark broad interest and engagement in the sciences

• provide an opportunity for all Australians, including those historically underrepresented in the sciences, to participate in science events and activities

• foster partnerships between the community, research organisations and industry

• trial new and innovative STEM engagement activities.
