TASMANIAN National Science Week 2011

The exploration, discovery and excitement that is National Science Week in Tasmania is back again with another huge program for 2011. This year's dates are the 13 – 21 August and there will be events from Smithton to St Helens and from George Town to Geeveston.

Great events in 2011!

The line-up for 2011 includes world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr Fiona Wood, who was Australian of the Year in 2005 and is famous for her patented invention of spray on skin for burns victims. Also in Tassie this year is the New Inventor's own Bernie Hobbs and the hilarious team from the Great Big Science Gig.

There will be no lack of things to get involved in so why not try your hand at some science this August! Speed meet a Science Geek with the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery's TMAGgots or get messy with some hands-on Nature Printing.

If Top Secret is more your style, then check out the Imaginarium Science Centre to solve an intriguing spy mystery. There will be also some Savvy Science in classrooms and communities around the state as students learn how to become more energy aware and efficient.

Hold your own event such as a Brain Break morning tea for science, or find out the latest research from some of our Young Tassie Scientists in just seconds at 90 Seconds of Fame.

Fancy a bit of healthy competition? Then the Science Week Quiz Night is for you...

With a range of talks, workshops, science shows, exhibitions, tours, films, fairs and open days on offer, there is something for everyone, so get involved in National Science Week!
