National Science Week 2025, running from 9 to 17 August, is set to transform New South Wales into a vibrant hub of scientific exploration and discovery. With a strong emphasis on accessibility and inclusion, this annual celebration offers a diverse array of events designed to engage individuals of all ages and abilities.
Deaf Youth Science Camp
Launch your own rocket, build an electric circuit, and design and 3D print your own creation!
See Australia’s only nuclear reactor on a tour. Find out how they make medicines to find and treat cancer.
Talk to Deaf STEM professionals and learn about their career journeys and experiences.
Meet other young Deaf and hard-of-hearing people and build new friendships and connections.
Led by Deaf educators, this camp is delivered in Auslan. You don’t need to be a science whiz, just keen to learn and try some new activities!
