National Science Week - Play and Explore at the Library (Council Led Event)

10/08/2024 - Hurstville Library.

Celebrate National Science Week as we play, explore, and learn at Hurstville Library!

Join us as we celebrate National Science Week 2024 with a series of workshops and activities for the whole family at Hurstville Library. In our workshops, you will learn to decode secret messages, see chemistry in action as you carbonate drinks and make a spider, create a virtual reality animation, do electronic papercraft, and use your creative thinking skills to solve problems. There will also be tabletop discoveries, interactive installations, and plenty of opportunities to play and explore.
 
We recommend booking a place for the workshops to make sure you don’t miss out.
