SCHOOL HOLIDAY ADVENTURE

Calling all magnificent young scientists! Join us in the BioDiscovery Centre during the school holidays.

We currently run two different programs in alternating holiday periods.

Cells and Proteins

  • Magnify the microscopic world of the human body!
    Investigate how your cells function using micropipettes, microscopes and other cool equipment used by medical research scientists.
    Discover how scientists use cells in research.
  • Runs in the last week of the January and July school holidays.

Microbiology

  • Learn how to ‘stain’ a scientific sample and use a micropipette.
    Use your science sleuthing skills to identify different bacteria.
  • Runs in the last week of the April and October school holidays.
Each session runs for approximately 2 hours from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm OR 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm.

Tickets are $50 per person. Book a ticket for your preferred time by clicking through on the register now button, above. (If bookings are not yet “live” on the registration page, there is an email .link to register interest. Please be sure to get in touch.)

If you would like to give this as a gift please check the box at the end of the booking form and we will email you a PDF certificate.

These programs are strictly for children aged 10 to 14. If your young scientist is in years 10 – 12 at school, they are eligible to enrol in our Perkins Profs Program instead.
