National Science Week, iinet and SciTech are presenting a special augmented reality activity - experiment really - during the whole month of August called  JURASSIC SCIENCE WEEK.

Anyone in 14 cities and towns around Australia with a smartphone can see and photograph dinosaurs roaming around the streets and gardens. Look for this dinosaur print on the ground around the City Botanic Gardens, the Cultural Centre Precinct and QUT Gardens Point Campus.
We have a national competition for the best photograph. Simply upload your screeshot to: nationalscienceweek.iinet.net.au/​sharing

For the more adventurous we have a transmedia family fun game called PLUNDER! The Lost World!  a Brisbane-based social activity to test your hunter-gatherer skills: flickr.com/​photos/​nationalscienceweekqld/​sets/​72157627327442362/​ 

Your first hunter-gatherer test is to hunt down a dinosaur and post it on flickr or facebook.com/​QldNSWk 

Look for this illusion puzzle for more clues. Stay tuned for more details!
