Q2U

Love Questacon but don't love the idea of planning a class trip? If you're in the ACT or surrounding region: We'll come to you!

There's no excursion forms or bus hire to worry about when our theatre troupe, The Excited Particles, visits your school to present an hour of science and fun.

Show themes

Choose one or two topics from the lists below, or simply elect for an hour with our resident dinosaur, Mutty the Muttaburrasaurus.

  • Balloon Science
  • Dinosaurs
  • Dr. Scar & the Body
  • Electricity
  • Engineering
  • Liquid Nitrogen
  • Measurement
  • Music
  • Natural Disasters
  • Perception Deception
  • Science of Flight
  • Space & Rockets
  • The Natural World
  • Water

...or ask for an hour with Mutty the Muttaburrasaurus. Mutty will perform a story and host a dinosaur and fun filled fact and learning session. (Mutty, by the way, is a puppet. He's a bit sensitive about that though so shhh... don't tell!)

Science Time Q2U - For Early Childhood Students

Looking for a more hands-on science experience for younger children? Then Science Time Q2U is for you!

Science Time Q2U is for small groups (maximum 25 students) and runs for about 45 minutes. They involve a short presentation by one of our performers, followed by some hands-on activities for the children to try. In addition, we leave some craft activities and colouring in for the students to complete in their own time, and an information sheet for the teachers

Science Time Q2U covers a range of topics, including animals, rockets and space, water, dinosaurs, the human body, volcanoes and more.

Who's it for?

We can present shows suitable for preschoolers right through to high school students. Just let us know what grades you have. We're able to get to most schools in the ACT or surrounding region.

How much does it cost?

Q2U shows cost $6 per student, with a minimum charge of $360.

Science Time Q2U costs $600 for the first session in a day, and $200 for each session thereafter.
