About the event
Prawn to Be Wild: A Science Treasure Hunt is a family-friendly activity exploring how science is used in Australia's Northern Prawn Fishery.
Taking place on the Peninsula Lawns on the Darwin Waterfront, families will collect a treasure map and work sheet from the registration point. The map will guide participants to complete a series of science-based activities at locations within the Peninsula Lawns.
Navigate the treasure map at your own pace, and return the completed work sheet to the registration point to collect a treasure bag containing take-home activities for kids.
This activity is designed for children ages 6-12. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
This National Science Week project is supported by the Australian Government.
