Many of the science activities were supervised by Carol Balshaw, affectionately known as Nana B, a grandmother of one of the students at the school who donates her time and teaches the kids about science.
Displays included a cardboard city complete with electric lights, displays of chemical reactions and the newly acquired robotics sets.
Cobram Primary School puts great emphasis on STEAM subjects, and principal Claye Runnalls said it aimed to show students the variety of pathways they could take.
Gabriel from the Courier went along to take some photos.
