About

Questacon is excited to be touring in the NSW Central West region in Term 2 of 2025, delivering FREE in-school activities which immerse students in problem-solving, technology and creativity.

Guided by enthusiastic and engaging workshop facilitators, our interactive and challenging STEM workshops expose students to innovation and design thinking processes.

Working in teams, students are challenged to solve problems and encouraged to make, test, and refine their ideas through hands-on prototyping, developing their creative problem-solving skills. These experiences help to equip students with critical and creative thinking skills and build their confidence to tackle problems across the curriculum and beyond.
