Week 2 (10/7/17-14/7/17)

Dry Lab

  • India suggested the idea of a creating a game as her brother could help us out with that.
  • We got in contact with Joanne Jamie, an academic at Macquarie University, to gain more information about National Science Week and the university’s Orientation Day for our outreach possibilities.
    • She invited us to help out in the Chifley School Program (19th September) which we agreed would be better than the other two. We have a 1 hour time slot in which we can conduct wet and dry lab activities with gifted and talented high school science students.
  • The team was approached by Nebraska to fill out their survey
