National Science Week 2025: Decoding the Universe – Exploring the unknown with
nature’s hidden language
Saturday August 16 from 12 – 4pm
Sunday August 17 from 12 – 4 pm
To mark National Science Week, the Sydney Mathematical Research Institute (SMRI)
and the Chau Chak Wing Museum (CCWM) are collaborating again on a stimulating
weekend for the whole family in the museum at the University of Sydney. See the
Full Program here!
This year’s theme of National Science Week is ‘Decoding the Universe – Exploring the
unknown with nature’s hidden language’. Over the weekend, we will be delving into the
hidden languages of nature – how do mathematics and sciences describe the world around
us and allow us to push the boundaries of knowledge?
Joined by the Sydney Institute for Astronomy (SIfA), we will be celebrating
with a variety of activities and floor talks, culminating in an interdisciplinary
panel exploring the theme. To explore how the rules of nature govern our world,
join us to participate in Briony Barr’s Klein Bottle Experiment. This is a large-scale,
collaborative artwork which uses rule-based play to visualise how participants interact
with one another and our environment, using the hidden languages of the Universe!
