A number of events took place at Northcote High School to celebrate National Science Week from August 14 to 18. This year’s theme was: Future Earth.

 

Fifty students took part in a CSIRO webinar hosted by Bernie Hobbs where Space Scientists from across the globe answered student questions about advances in space technology and gave insights into their different fields of research.

Engineers Without Borders ran a hands on nanotechnology workshop looking into how nanomaterials can be used to waterproof everyday objects.

 

Members of RMIT University’s STEM department provided us with VR headsets so that students could experience alternative world of Virtual Reality. A big thankyou to all involved!
