What an extraordinary National Science Week 2025! With more than 500 events reaching over 100,000 people across New South Wales. Science came alive in every corner of the state, from Brain Breaks and SCINEMA screenings to after-hours happenings and a chance to meet a scientist in person. This year’s celebration was bigger and bolder than ever, transforming libraries, community centres, universities, museums, and parks into vibrant portals of discovery. People were involved in hands-on experiments, storytelling sessions, craft workshops and interactive exhibitions that turned everyday spaces into exciting place of scientific discovery.
Universities across the state threw open their doors, inviting the public to explore cutting-edge research. From sustainability and regenerative agriculture to quantum computing, astronomy, and fire science, these events showcased the way NSW researchers are tackling some of today’s most pressing questions while inspiring the next generation of innovators.
For those who love a night out, Science After Hours brought laughter, debate and discovery into theatres, bars and community spaces. Audiences enjoyed science-themed comedy, improv, live music, trivia and thought-provoking talks that pushed big ideas into the spotlight. It was science with a twist—playful, daring, and engaging well beyond the lab.
Throughout the week, what stood out most was the inclusivity and imagination of the program. Events embraced creativity, blended science with art and culture, and reached audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Whether learning about pollinators in the Hawkesbury, exploring marine science at the aquarium, gazing at the stars through solar telescopes, or diving into the future with AI and digital technologies, people across NSW were invited to connect with science in ways that felt personal, relevant and inspiring.
National Science Week 2025 in NSW was a true community celebration—proof that science isn’t just something that happens in labs or classrooms. It’s in our stories, our environment, our questions, and our everyday lives.
Here’s to another year of curiosity, collaboration, and discovery. Until next year, keep asking questions and exploring the wonders of the world around you.
