Kids, teens and families can experience a world of science with a new exhibition coming to libraries across Tasmania.
Fascinating Science is a free interactive exhibition that explores key scientific principles in a fun, hands-on way.
The exhibition by Questacon, the National Science and Technology Centre, will visit 18 libraries including Queenstown, Smithton, Devonport, Ulverstone, and Oatlands and Sorell.
“We are excited that Questacon’s Fascinating Science exhibition is visiting libraries across Tasmania this summer. This exhibition means that children and families can interact with fun scientific exhibits from Questacon without travelling too far during the school holidays,” said Simon Jones, Director Library Network, Libraries Tasmania.
