High school student! You are invited to the University of Western Australia for an exhilarating 2-hour mission that could change our lives in the future.
Experience the thrill of stepping into the research centre and exploring our missions before plunging into hands-on lab activities on August 21 and 22.
Choose your adventure and change the world from 2 options:
- Space Salad
Channel your inner space scientist as you investigate which foods are best for growing and eating beyond Earth! Design and prepare your very own Space Salad! Test its nutrient content through real experiments. Could your Space Salad help astronauts to survive and thrive in space?
- Designer Plants
Dive into the science of future space plants! Extract and visualise real plant DNA and design multi-purpose future space plants. What plant will you make?
