Augmented Reality (AR) brings digitally created content into the real world. Embraced by a range of industries, it is changing the way we work, learn and make decisions. In this program, it’s your turn to get creative and bring your ideas to life with AR.
Year level:
Put on your lab coat and become a scientist as you explore physical and chemical changes and solve the mystery substance challenges.
Work as an analytical chemist in monitoring water quality. Use gravimetric analysis, UV-Vis Spectroscopy and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) to analyze water.
This ‘hair raising’ session explores electrical energy in static and circuit form.
Take on a construction and coding challenge to create a ‘smart’ Lego EV3 SumoBot that will track your opponent and apply sumo-power to win the battle.
Students will use use Micro:Bits to develop basic block coding skills and interact with the world around them using different inputs and outputs.
The landscape of Earth has been formed over millions of years and is under constant change. Some of those changes occur so slowly that you might not even know it is even happening!
Explore the power of earthquakes working as an engineer, seismologist, and geologist. Will you be able to escape the quake?
Examine the structure and function of enzymes through the example of amylase
Investigate the role of fire in Woowookarung Regional Park. Head out into the field and gather real time data on the impacts of fire and help build the ESRI database using GIS mapping.
Be a paleontologist for a day whilst you discover fossils from millions of years ago.
Our dynamic planet is under constant change. From the islands of Hawaii, Australia’s Cosgrove Track to the San Andreas Fault we face the imminent challenge to adapt to the power of the convection currents that push the crust below our feet. Get ready for an engineering challenge of seismic proportions!
Energy is all around and continually transforms to power the many aspects of our modern lives, but how long can we continue to generate the majority of our energy using non-renewable sources? What are the ongoing effects of our energy generation and energy consumption? What will the future of energy look like?
From powering smart phones to brushing our teeth, almost everything we use is a mineral resource, but do you know where they come from and how we get them?
Curiosity and wanting to make sense of the world around us come naturally to young kids. The STEM Academy program offers students the opportunity to explore the world through a STEM-based lens.
Quench your thirst for knowledge about all things water in this hands-on exploration of one of our planet's most vital resources.
