In pictures: First ever South West Science Fair held at Bunbury Library

Science lovers gathered in droves at Bunbury’s public Library in celebration of National Science Week this month.

From live animals to Lego towers, the Library’s first ever South West Science Fair encouraged all things science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Library senior engagement officer Jacqueline Quadrio said the free event was a collaboration between 14 different science-focused groups.

“”It was all hands-on, interactive activities — the kids can come down try a bit of technology, biology chemistry, a bit of everything,” she said.

“It was amazing to see the community down here and trying something different . . . STEM are vital in everyday life and it’s also a lot of fun.”

The event ran from 2pm-6pm on August 13 and was funded by national science engagement organisation Inspiring Australia.
