Reverse Science Fair

For International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Otago Museum wants to connect you with some of our very own local role models in STEM!

On Saturday, 13 February, we’re handing over the Hutton Theatre to local scientists – some of whom you may recognize from 100 women, 100 words infinite possibilities – who want to share their work with you through hands-on demonstrations and activities.

Wiring circuits, extracting banana DNA, coating test tubes in silver ions, building earthquake-proof structures and more – this is an incredible opportunity for interactive experiences designed to inspire and ignite science engagement for the next generation.

Science is everywhere, STEM is amazing, and scientists can look like anything! Come along and be inspired.
