Hon. Bill Marmion was appointed minister of Science and Innovation after the timely resignation of Troy Buswell. Mr Marmion decided to revisit the GDC’s funding situation to find altrenative solutions. It seems he did and the Centre may not have to close!  This is a great outcome for the Australian community, school students, as well as Western Australia’s reputiation within the international science community! Please support the Gravity Discover Centre and the Gingin Gravity Precinct by visiting us soon!

Our new “It’s not Rocket Science” program travelled all the way to Karratha for a 3 day seminar for children and parents from the School of The Air, SOTA.

The GDC has been involved with SOTA for some time now, and Peter teaches weekly science lessons on the air. It was a wonderful opportunity for Peter and Brad to attend this seminar and give the children some hands on science demonstration they can easily replicate at home with their parents… and I thihnk they had heaps of fun in the process:)
