Outdoors update
Last chance for Science in the Garden and more
Last chance for Science in the Garden! - Registrations close Monday, 21 March at 5pm
Girl Guides, it’s time to dust off your lab coats and telescopes. The annual Adventure in the Garden just got cooler, with a new Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) focus on exciting outdoor activities.
Amongst the gorgeous grounds of the Australian Botanic Gardens, you’ll have a riot of a day full of magnetic-painting, crate-stacking, bull-roar-creating…and for our overnight campers, some stellar star-gazing. Amazing!
What’s more, our very special guest Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki will present a whizz-banging science show!
As they say, from little STEMs, big things grow…
Registrations close Monday, 21 March at 5pm. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this…even our special guest Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki is getting excited!
