World Science Festival Brisbane includes dedicated educational programs that underpin Queensland Museum Network’s commitment to support and foster STEM-literacy, and inspire a love of science by showcasing the diverse career opportunities afforded by studying these subjects.

 

World Science Festival Brisbane’s School Program will be held from Wednesday 9 to Friday 11 March 2022. The events will create important opportunities for young minds to engage with STEM outside the formal classroom environment, and have been scheduled specifically to allow students to attend.

 

Download the 2022 School Program brochure and then visit 2022 School Program to book into your preferred sessions. 

 

We have also recorded many of the 2021 sessions so you and your students can access this information all year round! #weheartscience
