The main objective of the GDC is to provide exciting and inspiring Science Education Programs. We aim to ignite an interest in Science in students. Primary Education Programs focus on gravity, the Solar System and beyond. Students perform freefall experiments from the Leaning Tower, engage with interactive exhibits and displays, and discover the human endeavour in science in WA. Gingin Observatory is located on site and takes bookings for evening stargazing sessions.
