    The week will kick off with a big day of activities and launch at the Bournda Environment Education Centre and the close and another big day of activities at the Sapphire Coast Marine Discovery Centre. Michelle Richmond from Panboola points out, “A new and different event will be held almost every day, I can’t wait.” Activities through the week include walks and talks around Wallagoot, demonstrations and activities on IT and programming with IntoIT, Aboriginal Astronomy at Oaklands, Frogwatch at Panboola wetlands, Science in Film at the Picture Show Man, ocean animals after dark at the Merimbula Aquarium and Science in the Pub at Tathra Hotel.

    National Science week is an annual celebration of Australia’s science and technology and a chance for the whole community to get involved and have some fun with science. The local event is being organised and run by a group of volunteers from various Sapphire Coast organisations under the banner of the Sapphire Coast Regional Science Hub. The Hub was fortunate enough to secure a grant from Inspiring Australia to conduct these wonderful events. This Inspiring Australia initiative is supported by the Australian Government as part of National Science Week.
