Over several days, the west coast will be home to the Bright Ideas Festival, a cornucopia of local science expertise.
Â
Event organiser Shae Huddleston of the Tasmanian Nationa Science Week Coordinating Committe was determined to ensure the west coast was not left out in this year’s festivities. “I saw a gap in the National Science Week Tasmanian event map the last couple of years and wanted to take a few people over and make some fun, creating a festival template the local community can build on in years to come.”
Â
The Bright Ideas Symposium has a powerhouse panel including;
- Head of the Tasmanian College of the Arts, University of Tasmania – Associate Professor Kit Wise
- Deputy Centre Head, Fisheries and Aquaculture at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, Dr Catriona Macleod
- Young Tasmanian of the Year and founder of Illuminate Education, Mr Adam Mostogl
