About the event
#XRACT will be taking advantage of National Science Week’s #SatelliteSelfie to send a message to our politicians. We want you to be a part of the action.
We’ll be using a mix of people and materials to SPELL. IT. OUT. to the Australian Government (because they sure need it).
*A Satellite Selfie??* During National Science Week this year, a satellite will fly over the ACT and surrounding areas and will capture an image of as much of Canberra and the people in it as possible to create a time-capsule image of Australia’s Capital from above.
