Bookings are open now for teachers and home educators to register their student groups for the 2025 World Science Festival Queensland Student Day in Chinchilla.
This year our program brings robotics, aerospace, and engineering to life with the theme Robots & Rocketry.
This free, educational event will feature several hands-on activities across three exciting and enriching zones:
- Launch your own rockets in Lift Off and aim for the stars.
- Dive into Roving Worlds, where you’ll explore robotics and coding to venture into new frontiers.
- Discover Surviving Space and learn about astrobotany – the science of growing plants beyond Earth.
Each session will start with an engaging science and engineering presentation to inspire and wow students of all year levels.
Plus, in the adjacent Chinchilla Cultural Centre, see mini exhibitions of creative and innovative invention prototypes made by local student participants of the 2025 Future Makers STEM Inventors Challenge. Winners will be judged and announced on the day.
Educators will be emailed classroom resources to support learning before and after the event.
Book now to secure your time slot preference. Our staff will be in contact to confirm final student numbers.
