Burdekin Christian College will transform into a hub of curiosity and creativity on Friday 23 May, when the school welcomes families and community members to its annual Under 8’s Day Science Fair, running from 9:00am to 10:30am.
The event is all about letting kids explore science in fun, hands-on ways—whether that means mixing up colourful chemical reactions, digging for fossils, or cracking a cookie-themed mystery.
“It’s about unleashing scientific thinking through play,” said event organiser Ronda. “We’ll have all kinds of zones—space exploration, forensic science, medical experiments, biology, and more.”
From crafting model lungs and homemade stethoscopes to examining (plastic) human organs and seeing how the human body works, kids will get a taste of life as a real scientist. They’ll also meet a “walking x-ray” and try their hand at bug hunting and dinosaur digs in the biology lab.
Running for over four years, the fair has become a highlight of the school calendar, drawing crowds of eager learners and families. “It’s usually quite buzzing and the kids are having fun, and running around and doing all the different activities,” said co-organiser Ashlee.
The event will also feature guest appearances from Sweet FM’s live radio team, local police and emergency services, and a tractor display by Honeycombs.
After working up a scientific appetite, visitors can head to the Atomic Café for a well-earned snack.
The public is warmly invited to join in the action, with organisers promising a morning full of laughter, discovery, and wide-eyed wonder.
