Here is a look back:

LUMINESCENCE - Discovery of a Glowing World
Thank you to the Nic Nac Theatre Company for bringing this interactive, family-friendly theatrical experience to life! Your exploration of nature's amazing bioluminescence captured the imaginations of our youngest scientists.

Luminescence was originally commissioned by OpenField Arts Festival.

This Inspiring Australia NSW initiative is supported by the Australian Government as part of National Science Week

Cool Antarctic Research: Whales & Dolphins
A massive thank you to marine ecologist Dr. Katharina Peters and research students Juliette Gard, Elise Beaumont, Hannah Davies, and Ilona Sinn for taking us on a journey of discovery from Jervis Bay all the way to Antarctica!

Extreme Biology: Antarctic Plants and Waters
Thank you to Dr. Melinda Waterman and research students Teddy Poole and Eliza Mab Hamilton for sharing their incredible insights into how life survives in the extremes.

CHASE THE LIGHT: Capturing Bioluminescence
A special shoutout to David Finlay for teaching us the art and science of capturing nature’s glowing phenomenons on camera.

We also want to extend our appreciation to the University of Wollongong, Mave Lab, and SAEF.
