Townsville STEM Faire 2018
The Townsville STEM Faire was held for the first time on Saturday 18 August 2018 in what was then Citylibraries Thuringowa.
The 2018 event had just under 1,700 attendees.
The science shows by internationally acclaimed science communicator Dr Graham Walker were the standout, with parents and children commenting it was the highlight of the day. The chance to play with robots, provided by Annandale Christian College and Stories Galore, and to fly a drone, provided by Townsville City Council, were also very popular.
As well as the active programs, attendees appreciated the static displays of the Townsville STEM Photography Competition award winners.
Watch the highlights and share the excitement:
The Townsville STEM Faire 2018 was a partnership between Townsville City Council and the Townsville STEM Hub. This National Science Week project was proudly supported by the Australian Government, with additional support from Smart Precinct NQ and James Cook University.
