Happy International Museum Day! 🪩🥳
Questacon is more than just The National Science and Technology Centre.
We are passionate people coming together to create fun interactive learning experiences.
We aim to spark curiosity, build capability and stimulate engagement in science and technology.
All while making time to have a little boogie! 💃👯
Can you name that science thing? 🔥
Hint: It is named after the person who proposed the idea for it.
He described this idea to a colleague named Peter Desaga, who helped design and create a prototype. This prototype was likely based off an early design by another well-known scientist named Michael Faraday. 🧲⚡🤔
