The perfect school holiday program for young scientists in the making. Spend the day going behind-the-scenes and getting hands-on with Australian Museum palaeontologists and mineralogists.
The Scientist for a Day program is a full day social and educational workshop for young minds aged 9-12 years, designed to show kids what it’s like to work in different areas of science.
During the spring holidays, your child can discover the mesmerising world of dinosaurs at Scientist for a Day. Participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Dinosaurs Gallery, where they'll encounter lifelike exhibits that will transport them to prehistoric times. They will take a peek behind-the-scenes and see the intricate workings of our collections lab, where fossils are meticulously studied and preserved.
Esteemed Palaeontologist, Dr Patrick Smith, will share his expertise and captivating tales of discovery. As participants delve into the mysteries of evolution they will learn how dinosaurs skillfully adapted to the changing landscapes by developing unique characteristics and survival strategies.
