Bookings are open now for teachers and home educators to register their student groups for the 2025 World Science Festival Queensland Student Day in Ipswich.
This year our program brings robotics, aerospace, and engineering to life with the theme Robots and 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.
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.
