Today we celebrate National Agriculture Day 2022! Half of our board & staff are also involved in the Agricultural industry and we know a lot of our squad kids also come from Ag families. Thank you to everyone working in Ag for what you do for us all.

“It’s not okay for schools in Australia to not have microscopes and Lego. It’s not okay for students to describe scientists as Albert Einstein. If you wanted to show students what scientists actually look like you’d have to hold up a mirror.” - @corey_tutt OAM

We’ll have @CNZdenek and Netflix back anytime! Can’t believe it’s been over a year!

Great to have the QLD Chief Scientist Prof @HugePossum and ecologist @CNZdenek visit us in Emerald. Chief Scientist spoke to some of the Science Squad kids participating in our @CQUni & @outbackxp4720 "Parasites in the Wild" citizen science project, supported by office of CS.

What can we do when an entire school wants to visit us? We go to them instead! Our presenters brought all the messy science for some end of school fun! #steameducation #steamforruralkids #outbacksteam #purplecabbageexperiment

Helping Santa connect with the people who love him the most this Christmas is the least we could do! From today, kids will be able to make free calls to Santa from our payphones by dialling # HO HO HO. https://t.co/RVYX5NnYbq

In just one year, we relocated and opened a retail space where 100% of the profit goes back into the STEAM discovery space and lab!
Thank you @GlencoreAus for your partnership, we couldn’t have done it without you!
