SciWorld Sundays

Come and join us for free family science fairs held throughout the year to crawl inside inflatable Stardomes to gaze at the night sky, and try some hands-on science experiments. Teach a robot to fetch a ball or find out how to make an electric circuit. Listen and watch out for science shows celebrating the International Year of Chemistry.

Very excited about our new "Mini Scientists" activity at SciWorld Sundays in 2011. Join the role play for ages 7 and under and discover the science all around you.

Thanks to almost 3,000 people in Whyalla who came to our science fair on Sunday June 5 in Whyalla at UniSA campus. Our sponsors OneSteel, City of Whyalla, Arafura Resources nd UniSA are all looking forward to supporting the event again next year. Big special thanks to the Young Scientists Australia (Adelaide Chapter) who did science demos non-stop the whole day! Download the brochure (3MB).

3000 people came to the Playford Civic Centre on Sunday May 1 in Elizabeth to share our family science fair, brought to you by Playford Council. We had StarDome astronomy sessions, Remabi Park Native Animal shows, Bugs 'n' Slugs, robotics workshops, chemistry shows, electronics workshops including Hackerspace, Computers Reborn and the Elizabeth Amateur Radio Club, mini-scientist role play, hands-on science experiments, wetland tours, science craft, Mobile Food Co-op, Aquadome health checks, Rotary Club of Elizabeth display, St John's display, and BAE Systems. See the "Photos" page for more photos.

Come and check out SciWorld, Bugs'n'Slugs, Young Scientists, and Remabi Park Native Animal shows. SciWorld Sundays have been running around South Australia for 5 years, and we're excited to be visiting Whyalla and Mt Gambier in 2012.

Would you like a SciWorld Sunday in your region/town?

SciWorld is always keen to hear from communities interested in hosting a SciWorld Sunday around Adelaide and South Australia. We have the equipment, presenters, marketing expertise and contacts to ensure a really successful day. What we need from the host community is:

• free hire of a suitable venue, preferably incorporating a theatre for our science shows;
• as we are a not-for-profit community organisation, help in raising at least $12,000 in cash sponsorship for direct event costs (a little more for country regions) which could come from four sponsors each contributing $3,000 each.
