Science Week 2026

"National Science Week is an opportunity for everyone to talk science, see science and do science"

(https://www.scienceweek.net.au/about/)

Every year National Science Week promotes science and technology pursuits across our country, acknowledges the contribution of our Australian scientists, and engages the minds of many at events held nationwide.

To search for events (many of them free!) happening across Melbourne, head to www.scienceweek.net.au. Fancy a Young Botanists program or Space Storytime? Perhaps building and coding with Ozebots or Sphero littleBits? Maybe you'd like to make a lava lamp, or save an egg from a giant fall in an egg drop challenge? There's plenty of choice for budding scientists of all ages!

This year's Science Week theme for schools will be 'Seeds of science: Nurturing knowledge for all'. At ENPS we look forward to exploring science in our classrooms and connecting this year's theme to our current science units.
