Seed to STEM:

The Future of Farming in the City

Free National Science Week experiences exploring hydroponics, urban farming and the science behind growing fresh food in our cities.

During National Science Week 2026, Urban Green Sydney is opening its underground hydroponic farm in Barangaroo for a hands-on program of farm tours, school sessions, grow kits, livestream experiments and a mobile pop-up planting station.

Come and explore how science, technology, engineering and mathematics are shaping the future of food — from indoor farming and water-efficient growing systems to plant experiments, data collection and sustainable city design.
