**About Questacon**:
Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre is a division of the Australian Government Department of Industry, Science and Resources. Our vision is a better future for all Australians through engagement with science, technology and innovation. We deliver on that vision through our mission to excite and motivate people through inspirational learning experiences.

Science communication is at the heart of what we do. We work with partners and supporters to deliver inspirational learning experiences for young Australians, their teachers, families and communities.

**About the team**:

These programs are aimed at diverse audiences, from early childhood to school aged students, families, and adults.

- **_Q Lab_** focuses on developing science inquiry skills such as observing, questioning, and testing. It helps to build the ability to better understand the world around us.
- **_The Shed_** explores the importance of problem solving and creativity in a hands-on making space. Visitors are encouraged to think, make, try and refine.
- **Live**_ Spectacular Science Shows_** inspire audiences through storytelling, interactive science demonstrations and humour to show the wonder of science and technology.
- **_Science Time_** invites curiosity, hands-on learning and play. 3-5 year olds and their caregivers work together to investigate, discover and share their findings.

- contribute new ideas and identify opportunities to improve engagement
- help identify and manage risks associated with demonstrations and activities
- be able to work proactively as an individual and collaboratively as a member of a team
