Questacon 17 June – 18 September

Questacon, the National Science and Technology Centre is coming to Tasmania in partnership with Libraries Tasmania.

An interactive science exhibition – Byte Wise – is touring Tasmania from June to September and is set to engage your mind and body.

Byte Wise brings the power of mathematics and computer science to life. Through playful challenges and interactive experiences, children of all ages, families, learners and educators can explore programming, patterns, logic, geometry and problem solving.

Visit the exhibition to build, rotate, compare, experiment and play your way through concepts that underpin modern technology. Experience how computational thinking shapes our everyday world.

With strong links to the Australian Curriculum – especially mathematics and digital technologies – it’s an inspiring experience for learners, families and educators alike.

Come curious. Leave empowered.

The tour of libraries opens at Launceston Library on 17 June, travelling to a total of 18 Libraries Tasmania locations (listed below) through to late September. For more details go to Eventbrite.
