Venture to the exciting world of astrobiology with STEMPunks to investigate the unique conditions necessary for life beyond Earth.

Discover how plants grow in space by building microgravity experiments, code Environmental Sensor Boards to simulate space environments, and a Lunar Rover to explore planetary surfaces.

Blending real-world space challenges with practical STEM skills, be inspired by innovation, and spark your curiosity in the future of space science.

Activities:
– Astrobotany Challenge
– Code an Environmental Sensor Board to measure analog space conditions
– Build a Clinostat and plant seeds to experience micro-gravity
– Code a Lunar Rover to sample regolith

Life Beyond Earth: Hands-On Astrobotany is part of World Science Festival Queensland’s free community day in Townsville.
