CSIRO Discovery Centre
From plastic bank notes to WiFi, and Aerogard to Softly, CSIRO innovations have been improving the lives of people in Australia for more than 100 years.
Get up close to a giant stick insect. Look through a microscope at samples from CSIRO’s national research collections. Take the kids on a QR Code hunt.
There’s something for everyone at the CSIRO Discovery Centre.
