Science week: Superstars of STEM talk

Curious about STEM? Celebrate Science Week at Manly Library where guest speakers from The Superstars of STEM will share their experiences and run STEM activities.

Let's learn about lady beetles! This activity will focus on our small backyard helpers, lady beetles. During this session, you will spend some time learning what insects are, with a particular focus on lady beetles. You will get a chance to do some collaging, and even meet some beetles.

Attendees will be able to take home collages and lady beetles to release in your gardens.

Suitable for primary school years 3-6 with an accompanying parent or guardian.

Bookings essential, limited spaces.
