Questacon is Australia’s national science and technology centre based in Canberra that offers interactive STEM experiences for people of all ages. The gallery for 0-6 year olds (Mini Q) has just undergone a big revamp after 20 years, and I’ve worked as the mural illustrator for the duration of the project.

The new space has a strong environmental theme, taking visitors from Ngunnawal Country through the rainforest and to the sea. It features areas like a mangroves waterplay section, an Indigenous story cave and double-level research boat.

I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to work on an illustration project where the primary purpose is to inspire young children. I grew up visiting Questacon so it’s amazing that I can be part of building that experience for others.
