Important Information for Parents and Carers:

Please note that this is a group-based STEAM event involving hands-on activities, group interactions, and potentially busy or noisy environments.

Parents, legal guardians, carers, and support workers remain fully responsible for the supervision, safety, and personal care of their children and young people at all times during the event.

While volunteers and mentors will be available to assist with group activities, the organisers are unable to provide dedicated one-on-one support. We will do our best to accommodate accessibility needs where reasonably possible.
