This year, South Bank Parklands will again turn into a science playground with dozens of free immersive events for families to enjoy at Street Science! Come along and participate in hands-on activities and explore the science behind robots, fossils, bubbles, slime, spiders, solar energy, drones, augmented reality, experiments and even explosions!

Festival Lab will also host free live experiments and interactive demonstrations during Street Science! Sessions are free with limited capacity tickets allocated on event days. You can view the free activities on offer at the Festival Lab here and the full list of shows over the weekend here. Also at the Showcasing Science Stage, catch more free quick fire demonstrations that are sure to stun. Don’t forget to visit Queensland Museum for more fun and free Street Science activities.

This event is running in conjunction with the World Science Festival and sponsored by BHP Billiton, with strong ties to the company’s charity foundation. Part of BHP’s voluntary social investment funds the foundation, which aims to make a serious contribution to the unique and unprecedented sustainable development challenges facing our generation. This is a perfect fit for Street Science, as the two come together to help us understand and combat these issues.
