World Science Festival
Originating from New York, the World Science Festival has been exclusively licensed by the Queensland Museum Network to run in Queensland for a period of three years. Incorporating regional and city based events, the aim of the festival is to ignite new and challenging discussions in and about Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM).
