Quantum DIY Workshop for August (Science Week) & November (follow up)
The physics regional, rural, remote & out-of field (PRO) Teacher Support Network would like to invite you to complete a survey stating your interest in a DIY Workshop. We particularly encourage physics teachers from regional, rural, remote and oofting (out-of-field teaching) contexts. Part of this Quantum DIY Workshop will be hosted during NSW with Matt Dodds and some invited guest speakers for Wednesday the 20th of August (evening; times to be finalised).
The invited speakers/demonstrators are (order to be scheduled):
Part A
Part A
- Quantum DIY Experiment: Planck Kit - Matt Dodds, SciencewithMat
Part B
- IA3 Hints and Tips - Cathy Clemot, QCAA
Part C
- Particle Physics - Dr Anna Chrysostomou, Postdoctoral Fellow, Laboratory of Theoretical and High Energy Physics (LPTHE), Sorbonne University
- Muons in Education - Dr Shanti Krishnan, Senior Lecturer, Swinburne University of Technology; Co-Founder of mDetect
As this is the year of Quantum, the suggested kit will be the Planck Constant LED kit:

The Quantum DIY kit can be purchased from SciencewithMat:
sciencewithmat.com.au/products/quantum-physics-plancks-constant-led-kit
(we will try and contact you directly but you can also contact Matt with a note stating that you are attending the workshop).
The goal is to make these DIY Workshops a regular event, with follow-up workshops focusing on other topics/units in November and then in 2026.
