Questacon, Science and technology center in Canberra, Australia.
The National Science and Technology Centre contains over 200 interactive exhibits spanning eight distinct galleries focusing on various scientific disciplines and technological innovations.
Questacon opened in 1988 as part of Australia's Bicentenary celebrations, with significant funding from the Japanese government who contributed half of the construction costs.
The center employs 200 staff members and 60 volunteers who coordinate educational programs, demonstrations, and workshops to promote scientific understanding among visitors.
The facility includes amenities such as a café, gift shop, performance space, and dedicated areas for different age groups, including a specialized zone for preschoolers.
NKRYPT, an outdoor installation of eight laser-etched steel poles with encoded messages, stands as a permanent exhibit commemorating Canberra's centenary.
