A Celebration of Science and Discovery
Minister Langbroek’s visit to Queensland Museum also included a brief tour of the collection and a look at the incredible educational and research work done at the institution, some of which will be on show during WSFB 2025.

The Minister met Collection Manager Marissa McNamara and the team who will be part of the event Everything You Need To Know About: Crusty Crustaceans – World Science Festival Queensland, similar to the free series Labs Unlocked – World Science Festival Queensland.

Minister Langbroek also visited SparkLab to explore some of the accessible, interactive science on offer. This is something visitors and students can experience each day.

Looking Ahead to the Future of Science
Science is more than just a field of study. It is a way we explore the world, question the unknown and shape a better future for everyone.
As the WSFB enters its 10th year, the full program will once again showcase how the event is a beacon for scientific discovery and innovation, and this year’s festival promises to be even bigger and brighter.
