Highlight events
Little Explorers Big Day Out Friday August 9 9.30am – 3:00pm
Little Explorers Big Day Out is about showcasing the science behind one of Sydney’s most loved festivals, the Australian Museum’s Science in the City. All workshops, shows and activities are set to entertain and engage curious little minds. Little Explorers Big Day Out pofgfers under 7 year-olds a chance to explore the wonders of science in a day especially programmed for them. Witness some awesome demonstrations of volcanoes, liquid nitrogen explosions, messy science and dinosaurs!
Super Science Saturday Saturday August 10 9.30am – 4.00pm
Super Science Saturday is presented by the Australian Museum in collaboration with over 30 other leading organisations. The day will feature live animals, real scientists, hands-on experiments and outrageous science demonstrations, with a host of activities designed to appeal to the littlies, teenagers and the parents.
With interactive workshops, on-stage demonstrations, and a speciality Expo demonstrating the latest in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM), it’s hard not to get inspired! The event will also showcase the Science in the City Schools Expo plus hundreds of hands-on activities and talks for the whole family.
Science in the City Tuesday August 6 – Friday August 15 9.30am – 3:00pm
The 2019 Science in the City program will bring practical science to life for school students and their teachers, with a specially designed primary school program packed with hands-on activities and explosive workshops. Sessions are designed to support and link to school curriculums and cover a wide range of scientific fields including digital science, biology, chemistry, natural environment, and more.
Immersive learning in STEAM focused workshops, demonstrations, and exciting talks are the focus for the 2019 Science Festival.
Featured guests will include:
Prof Tim Flannery
A/Prof Alan Duffy
Dr Joanne Lackenby
A/Prof Ronika Power
Dr Chris Ferrie
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki
Adam Spencer
The wide variety of workshop sessions are designed and instructed by Australia’s leading science institutions including 3M, ANSTO, Macquarie University and many others. Almost 4,000 students from 50 schools have already booked into the school programming and over 200 sessions have been scheduled!

A Dark Night with Alan Duffy Tuesday August 13 6.00pm – 9:00pm
Joining the Science in the City program is Astrophysicist and Australian Museum Eureka Prize Winner Associate Professor Alan Duffy. To help us understand the nature of dark matter and how galaxies have formed, Alan will travel past the Moon to illuminate the latest developments in science including how the atoms in you formed, and why dark matter helped to populate the elements found in the Earth’s Periodic Table even though you won’t find it there.
Through an understanding of recent developments in space science, students will be introduced to the wonderful world outside of our solar system and the use of models, theories and laws in space science research.
Tickets to Science in the City community events will be available on the Australian Museum website in early June. Science in the City is part of Sydney Science Festival and is supported by Inspiring Australia as part of National Science Week.
