Questacon

Published: Monday, 09 March 2015

Gave a speech for IPAA ACT to 280 people at the CEOs and Young Professionals Network Breakfast.  It was a delight to find my friends at Questacon had a table!  Questacon is the funnest place in Canberra.  You go there to learn about science.  They also have an outreach exhibition that tours the country.  I went to one when I was 11 and took home this beautiful wave drawing that is still on the wall of my childhood bedroom!  Definitely check out Questacon!

After my speech, I took a tour of the building where all the exhibits get made with CEO Graham Durant.  We had fun with some of the prototypes being made!

Then we put together some modular, 6-piece, 3D-printed glasses.  I tried to make mine as colourful as possible.

Make sure you go to Questacon next time you're in Canberra, or attend one of their travelling exhibits and have some fun with science!

Questacon welcome

It was also great to find out about opportunities at Questacon for outreach positions in teaching and in creating curriculum.  I'm excited that our Robogals volunteers who love what we do can make a career out of encouraging kids into science through Questacon and their large-scale, national outreach programs.
