Thanks also to Battery World for recycling our old batteries.

Kindy and Child Care Workshops

We're excited to present a workshop designed especially for Child Care Centres, Pre-Schools and Kindergartens, called "Science Explorers". It's a great mix of concepts with lots of activities for touching and feeling, as well as looking, hearing and smelling (but we don't taste science experiments!). $198 for 90 minutes, ideally suited to groups of 20 to 25 students aged 3 to 5.

To Queensland

The Investigator Science and Technology Centre had lots of hands-on science exhibits, and they are moving to a new home in Emerald. The Central Highlands Science Centre lost some equipment during the recent Queensland floods, and SciWorld is excited to send exhibits on loan. We'll add more pictures when they reach their destination, but Lisa couldn't resist trying out the rotating platform before it got packed away.

Where is SciWorld?

SciWorld is a South Australian not-for-profit science outreach organisation formed in early 2007.

We like to do fun science in lots of different places, like at schools, at science fairs and open days, in libraries, at shows and public events, and at birthday parties around Adelaide, and all over South Australia. Can we bring our equipment to your place? Our long term aim is to establish a new science centre in Adelaide to use as a base to run exciting science education programs for all South Australians. In the meantime we are really grateful for the support of the University of South Australia in storing our equipment.
