Hi Audience! You're awesome! |
On Tuesday August 16, The STEMpunks, Tom, Christie and Shane hosted our third STEMpunk quiz as a part of the Sydney Science Festival and supported by National Science Week at Wayward Brewery in Annandale, Sydney. It was a huge success with a huge audience, and a great vibe.
This time we invited Fred Watson and Carolyn Hogg who were great! Massive thanks to all involved, especially Alison, Adam, Wayward breweries and the Sydney Science Festival for such an awesome venue and event.
