Beaker Street is a cultural organisation and registered charity in Lutruwita/Tasmania with science and community at its heart.
The brainchild of a fun-loving evolutionary biologist, Beaker Street is pioneering a new model of science engagement, where diverse adult audiences are welcomed into scientific thinking and discovery, with a generous serve of merriment, and a distinctly Tasmanian twist.
Since our launch in 2017, our core offering, Beaker Street Festival, has evolved from a nerdy night out into a prominent two-week festival and Australia’s premier National Science Week event every August.
Beaker Street produces science & art experiences year-round, including CoLab, Science Photography Prize, Hobartica Cultural Embassy, Roving Scientist Program, and seasonal Field Trips & Retreats.
