During April, Sunshine Coast Libraries invite space adventurers to blast off on a Countdown Scavenger hunt, budding artists can make their own mini rocket ship in Rocket Rumble, create a space buddy in Astronaut Assembly, or design and decorate a mysterious space egg. Fold and shape your own intergalactic paper hero, craft sparkly space jewellery in Junk Jewellery and Other Stuff and reach for the sky to make your own Cloud Viewer. Plus, meet real-life astrophysicist and author Dr Eileen O'Hely and find out what happens to your body in space. Build your very own air rocket in our 50 Ways to Die in Space workshop!
