The Discovery Science and Technology Centre Upcoming Events
Curious Kids Term 3 - Curious Kids, developed and run by Discovery Science & Technology Centre in Bendigo, is a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) story time workshop that works to engage children in positive and fun STEAM & literacy experiences that allow them to explore scientific concepts.
STEM Club Term 3 - 8 week program Wednesday 12th July – Wednesday 30th August. Students will be actively engaged in hands-on experiments and investigations. We will investigate the planets in our Solar system, learn how to code robots and take a dive into the deep to learn about ocean life.
Must see - Barbie movie!
Very clever, funny and perfectly cast characters. More suitable for adults as the storyline would be lost on kids. Tahmeika gives it 10/10
Did You Know? - Headlice!
- Many head lice infections cause no symptoms, and probably less than half cause itch - with many parents mistakenly believing they need only check when itching and scratching is present. Children should be checked thoroughly once a week for lice.
- Concentrate on the head - there is no evidence that you need to clean the house or classroom.
- No treatment kills all of the eggs so treatment must involve two-three applications seven days apart to break the breeding cycle.
- DON’T share hats - As head lice need direct contact, kids that don’t share hats are more likely to avoid picking them up. Encourage your kids to keep their hats in their own bag and never swap with a friend.
