		The Tenix Questacon Maths Squad aims to broaden students’ views of maths in the world in an entertaining way but with a substantial message about the importance of maths.

	Museums and the Web 2004 : Papers : Crane, Burarra Gathering
		Later in the year Questacon's parent Government Department was looking to fund a study that directly compared the learning outcomes between the physical and on-line versions of a single exhibition.
		Questacon's then-director Dr Annie Ghisalberti had had an interest in on-line learning outcomes, so she volunteered Questacon for the study, and committed to develop an on-line version of the new Burarra Gathering exhibition.
		It's exciting to know that Questacon will be putting this new knowledge and expertise to use in the near future, with a new project that will again allow some Indigenous communities to tell their own stories on the Web.

		Questacon is a sort of science museum, but not a museum where you just look at things.
		At Questacon you play games and look at things like mirror mazes and a machine that takes photos of you.
		It has a screen at the back, and when the camera flash goes of it leaves your shadow behind on the screen which then gradually fades till it's replaced by the next flash.
