The Kids Research Institute Australia launched Kalgoorlie’s very first STEM Festival last week, setting off a chain-reaction of fun amongst the Goldfields kids and community! Located at our Curtin Kalgoorlie campus, local organisations, schools and students came together for 2 days of hands-on STEM fun to celebrate National Science Week. Â
The GUDRH team were busy on our health-sciences-inspired stall, featuring a “name this bone” challenge with our mascot “Bony Tony”, alongside interactive tests of the body’s reflexes and movement.
Other engaging activities included discovering the sugar content in different drinks, seeing the difference sunscreen can make to UV exposure, and creating DNA model sections to add to the Kids Institute’s record-breaking DNA model – now officially the world’s longest (262 metres) of spiralling science fun!Â
