Inspired by the United States National Informal STEM Education Network, Pocket Solar System is a hands-on activity in which participants make a scale model of the distances between objects in our solar system. This activity is designed to expand children's understanding of the Solar System, bringing in the dimension of distances between planets and introducing the concept of the ‘Goldilocks Zone’.

What do neutrinos, bananas and an underground gold mine in Victoria have in common? They are all helping us to chase down dark matter... one of the most mysterious substances in our universe! Scientific research tells us that almost 85% of the known universe is full of invisible 'stuff', known as dark matter. This hands-on workshop will explore how Australian researchers are using the smallest particles to solve our biggest mysteries yet. During this interactive session, you'll hear from experts in space, dark matter and quantum research as they showcase a range of hands-on demonstrations and activities. You will also get the chance to explore the space gallery, mission control and more at the Australian Space Discovery Centre. Hosted onsite at the Australian Space Discovery Centre in collaboration with the National Quantum and Dark Matter Road Trip. Recommended for student year levels 7-10.

Returning for our 6th year, over 400 nature-inspired events are blooming all across South Australia this Spring School Holidays. In light of this year's theme, the Australian Space Discovery Centre will explore the flow of Earth’s waters through the lens of Earth Observation. Join us at the Australian Space Discovery Centre and explore the dynamic flow of our planet: from shifting weather patterns and ocean currents to the movement of ecosystems and human impact. By using satellite imagery as both an educational tool and artistic inspiration, the workshop encourages a deeper appreciation of nature’s beauty and complexity. All age ranges welcome and event is 1 hour duration. This event is part of Nature Festival 2025, South Australia.
