Meet Aurora Foo: when a natural disaster strikes, she’s helping the helpers. Her job is assisting situation rooms and command centres around the country!

On 11 July, Australian scientists made a super-fast connection with a satellite. This feat of engineering required the team to aim a laser up in space at a receiver built into the back of a ute.

Would you like to help satellites keep an eye on Australian water quality? This hands-on activity shows you how! Through the EyeOnWater app, you can help CSIRO scientists match satellite data to photos of the water in your neighbourhood!

Look out! This quiz is meant to shake you up… unless of course you can rise like a tsunami and score a 5/5.

Bathymetry is the study of the ocean floor. And it creates a lot of maps! These maps record the changing depths of the ocean and are often beautiful to look at. Why not make your own?

Well, well, well, we’re working with water – just in time for World Water Day (22 March 2024)! Dive right in, wade through the questions and go for a splashy 5/5!

CSIRO is marching in Mardi Gras this weekend (2 March)! To celebrate the kaleidoscope of human diversity, we’re flying this colourful rainbow quiz.

We’d really be in the dark without our only natural satellite, the Moon. Now lunar rove on over and moon rock this quiz! (As always, we make no Apollo-gees for puns.)

Scientists have been blown away by a recent detection of a gamma-ray burst (GRB), a type of strong cosmic explosion.

Here’s a fun paper toy that can help you pick a future job. Have a go with our STEM career chatterbox! There are no wrong answers, only positive role models.
