Riverina Science Festival 2018
Purpose:
Chemistry in the kitchen, Indigenous science and 'The Robot Zoo' are just some of the activities planned across Wagga Wagga for the week–long Riverina Science Festival.
The Robot Zoo will feature robotics, drones, 3D printing, presentations, films, and even a 'Robot Petting Zoo'. The National Indigenous Science Education community program (NISEP) will be facilitated by the Riverina Science Hub partners and local Indigenous Elders, sharing both modern chemistry and ancient Indigenous science and technology. Kitchen Science engages pre–schoolers, with experiments using easily sourced household items. The Citizen Science Biodiversity Blitz gets community members to explore and identify the wildlife of the Murrumbidya Wetlands. And CLOSER, the microscopic event, provides community access to a range of electro–microscopes and a quality large–scale microscope.
