After two years of being locked out of schools due to Covid restrictions and lock downs, 2022’s National Science Week has seen Street Science entertain and engage over 17,000 students from around Australia, making this year’s event the best the company has seen. This year’s National Science Week theme of Glass: More than Meets the Eye was embraced by the Street Science team and turned into their most successful National Science Week show; Breaking Point; The way glass shatters matters, was a resounding success with teachers and students around the country. And for the first time Street Science were able to take their show beyond Southeast Queensland. Streaming live from the newly built Street Science Studio, students in schools from Western Australia to NSW as well as schools in regional and far north Queensland were able to celebrate National Science Week with Street Science. No other science education provider in the country is offering this level of engagement.
Just a quick email to say thank you so much for the great show yesterday! It was a hit across the school! – Attadale Primary WA (Livestream)
Dear Street Science Team, Thank you for the wonderful Science Show at Coorparoo State School today. The students were engaged and excited and loved the ‘live’ element to the show. Danni was well organised, friendly and knowledgeable. She was able to educate, entertain and manage 400+ students at each session! No simple task! – Year 3 Teacher Coorparoo State School
“What a cracker this year’s National Science Week has been! After a challenging couple of years with Covid, it was awesome for the Street Science team to be back in schools for National Science Week and doing what we love best – engaging children in science. Using the Street Science studios to broadcast live across the country was just huge – we love that kids across Australia can have a Street Science experience no matter where they are” said Steve Liddell, Founder Street Science
