Questacon draws 200 children

More than 200 children and their families participated in the Shell Questacon Science Circus at the Peninsula Leisure Centre on May 8.

The Woy Woy event was the first public exhibition of the science show as part of its Australia-wide tour.

"This world-renowned science expo brings the excitement of innovative science to children and adults alike," Member for Robertson Ms Belinda Neal said.

"Questacon features more than 50 exhibits and regular science demonstrations that feature a hands-on approach to learning.

"The Central Coast is privileged to have access to such fun ways to learn and experience science."

Ms Neal visited the Woy Woy science exhibition, one of three to take place on the Central Coast over the coming week.

"The interactive demonstrations and mind-bending puzzles I saw at Questacon were challenging and great fun," Ms Neal said.

"I encourage all families to make the most of this unique educational experience," Ms Neal said.
