Tornado Simulator, Questacon, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, Oceania
Questacon, the National Science and Technology Centre, is located on the southern shore of Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, Australia. It is a large centre with more than 200 interactive exhibits relating to science and technology. Questacon the National Science and Technology Centre is an interactive science centre that opened in September 1980. It was developed by Professor Mike Gore, a physics lecturer from the Australian National University. Professor Gore went on to become the founding Director of Questacon.
Questacon's current building was Japan's gift to Australia for the 1988 Bicentenary and it was opened on 23 November 1988. Japanese government and business contributed ¥1 billion, half of the capital cost of A$19.64 million. It was formerly housed at the old Ainslie Primary School. As of 3 December 2007, Questacon is a part of the Australian Government Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR). The director is Professor Graham Durant. Questacon's vision is a better future for all Australians through engagement with science and innovation. On Thursday 18 September 2008 a review of Questacon was released. The review was commissioned by Minister Kim Carr and chaired by John Simpson of National Australia Bank. Among other recommendations, the review calls for Questacon to be established as a statutory authority. Questacon also have a facility in the industrial suburb of Fyshwick that houses more than 50 staff. All of the outreach programs and the exhibition developers, including researchers, designers and electronics, metal and woodshop staff are based there. The facility also stores unused and decommissioned exhibits. The galleries are staffed by paid staff, as well as a team of about 60 volunteers. The volunteers occasionally will make use of Discovery Trolleys, featuring smaller, hands-on exhibits related to the gallery. The Centre also features a number of performance spaces, used for presentations for general public and student audiences by Questacon's in-house theatre troupe, the Excited Particles. The Excited Particles also perform puppet shows for young children and more serious talks on science and current events. Nkrypt is a sculpture installation outside the Questacon building that consists of eight laser etched stainless steel poles that each carry an encoded message. The outdoor exhibit was installed as a part of the Centenary of Canberra and a prize is offered to the first person to solve the puzzle. Questacon is open from 9.00am to 5.00pm everyday except Christmas Day. Groups can also book special evening sessions. Q Club members receive unlimited entry to Questacon, as well as entry to many other Australian museums and science centres, and all ASTC member institutions internationally. There is a members' lounge with card entry. The Q Shop offers a range of educational science toys, books and teacher resources. Questacon's cafe is situated in the foyer of the building. An entry fee is not required to visit either the cafe or the Q Shop. There are toilets throughout the building, including a children's toilet in the Mini Q exhibition. There are two dedicated baby change rooms one near the café in the foyer and another in Mini Q. Quesatcon's common advertising slogan is We always make science fun. In addition to the exhibitions in Canberra, Questacon also run a large number of outreach programs all over Australia, including the Shell Questacon Science Circus, Tenix Questacon Maths Squad, Questacon Smart Moves, Questacon Science Play and range of activities in remote Indigenous communities. The Shell Questacon Science Circus is an outreach program of Questacon and is the most extensive science outreach program of its kind in the world. Each year, the Science Circus engages with more than 100 000 people, travels 25 000 kilometers, runs professional development courses for 600 teachers and visits about 30 remote aboriginal communities as well as hospitals, nursing homes and special schools. The Questacon Science Circus is a partnership between Questacon, the Shell Oil Company Australia and the Australian National University. The Science Circus won the Prime Minister's Award for Community Business Partnerships in 2006. Fifteen or sixteen science graduates staff the Science Circus as it travels, bringing lively presentations of science to towns and schools. The Science Circus also supports the teaching of science and technology by running practical and fun professional development workshops for teachers.

Are the girls brave enough to go on Free Fall?
It's just a slide that's slightly steeper than normal. Okay, it's vertical. But go on girls, you'll be fine (although your mum & dad aren't going anywhere near it).
