Indigenous Reconciliation

An Indigenous girl and boy sit side-by-side at a table experimenting with simple electrical circuits. Their faces are full of concentration as they connect wires to electrical components. Scattered across the table are colourful electrical cables, batteries and other electrical components.

We take the "National" in National Science and Technology Centre seriously. You'll find our exhibitions and outreach programs touring cities and towns across the country. But we go further - we also visit remote Indigenous communities, from the central deserts to Torres Strait. We do our best to be everyone's Questacon.

We've visited and worked with Indigenous communities across Australia since opening in 1988. We tour with annual festivals and our outreach programs spend a number of weeks every year in remote communities.

From presenting workshops about relevant science and technology to building Burarra Gathering - an exhibition about traditional knowledge - we always gain as much as the communities we work with. Acting on our Reconciliation Statement is one small way we can help to redress disadvantage in these communities.
