Lake Mac STEAM is a week-long program of inspiring learning experiences that are centred around Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths that is held every year in conjunction with National Science Week.

National Science Week is Australia’s annual celebration of science and technology. It provides an opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of Australian scientists’ to the world of knowledge. It also aims to encourage an interest in science pursuits among the general public, and to encourage younger people to become fascinated by the world we live in.
