Mission Mindstorm

Build a smart autonomous rescue robot to help gather intelligence from a collapsed mine. A real life application for robotics using Lego EV3 robots.

Mount Buninyong

Explore the geological history of one of Ballarat's oldest volcanoes and discover changes over time.

Earthquake Explorers

Use augmented reality to explore the earth's structures and process and discover links with natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes.

How does wind make electricity? Explore turbines through VR then work as an engineer to design and build a wind turbine before visiting Waubra wind farm to get up and close with these amazing structures.

Rocks, Minerals and Exploration

Explore rocks and minerals and how they apply to industry and to our daily lives. Identify minerals, go core sampling and find your treasure whilst metal detecting.

Seismic Engineering

Earthquakes are devastating natural disasters. Explore earthquakes through VR then work as an engineer to design and build an earthquake proof house using the 'Engineering Design Process'. You must stay in budget and survive the earthquake simulator.

Fire Ecology

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.

Water Analysis

Work as an analytical chemist in monitoring water quality. Use gravimetric analysis, UV-Vis Spectroscopy and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) to analyze water.

Amylase (VCE Unit 3 Biology)

Examine the structure and function of enzymes through the example of amylase

Evolution

Observing and measuring various hominins, investigating our own human evolution through accurate life size models and skulls.

Fuel Cells

Explore how PEM electrolysers and PEM fuel cells work, their current and potential future uses in society while comparing their benefits and costs with other alternative energy sources.
