#113 - Inspiring Young Minds with Robots at the Hunter Science Festival | Macker McKrell | Hunter Science Festival 2025


Listen Later

At the heart of the Newcastle Museum during National Science Week, Macker McKrell from the Hunter Innovation and Science Hub (HISH) introduced children to the world of robotics. His aim was simple yet profound: to give young people the opportunity to play, experiment, and explore why things move and how they can be controlled. He emphasised that this curiosity is vital, particularly in a country like Australia, which is struggling to keep pace with the rest of the world in robotics.
