Congratulations to the 37 public libraries that received National Science Week Seed Grants in 2025.
National Science Week takes place between 9-17 August 2025. This year’s theme is GROW.
You can register your events and check out what is happening in your local area on the website.
Library activities during National Science week include STEM-based after school programs, science and nature-themed storytimes, tech labs classes, science trivia and special shows.
Mornington Library will host a Mad Science Show, a jam-packed 60-minute show of big WOW science madness, with giant smoke vortices, levitating beach balls, flying toilet paper, flour fireballs, hair-raising electricity, and lots of learning!
Deer Park and Keilor Libraries are offering a Wonderlab Science Fair for curious kids aged 3 to 5 to watch colours change, bridges bend, and paper come to life in a hands-on session.
A full list of grant recipients is below. We hope to see some photos of your activities!
