The Science Circus is delivered through a partnership between Questacon, Shell Australia and the ANU.

Set up in 1985, the Shell Questacon Science Circus has reached more than 2.2 million Australians and visited more than 500 regional towns and 90 remote Indigenous communities, with its brightly-coloured semi-trailer driving hundreds of thousands of kilometres around the country.

The Science Circus delivers science shows in schools as well as teacher professional development workshops and hands-on science exhibitions for regional communities.

At the core of the Science Circus is a drive to inspire young people to value and engage in science, technology, engineering and maths. The enthusiastic young presenters are integral to the appeal of the programme, said Professor Durant.
