Since the first event in 2010, CQUniversity has hosted over 2500 years 4 to 7 students and their teachers at the BMA ScienceSparks Science Days across campus locations including Gladstone, Mackay and Rockhampton.

These events have provided an opportunity for CQUniversity to connect with these students and foster a passion for discovery. Participating students enjoyed activities ranging from science to engineering and health eg. providing CPR to manikins during a paramedic science activity, launching water powered rockets, making slime, and learning how infections spread.
