Robotics and Coding Workshop
Our robotics workshop is designed for hands-on robotics learning and a whole lot of fun, for students aged 6 to 12. Project-based and child centred, this fun and educational program is the perfect session to keep students entertained and learning across the school break. Robots used: Age 6+ Lego WeDo 2.0 Age 8+ Lego Spike…
Microanalysis National Science Week Brain Breaks
We love our quizzes at Microanalysis, so what better way to celebrate than with a week of Brain Breaks! We also love food, so we’ll probably throw some of that in there too.
Decoding Nature – Brick by brick
The event is a collaboration between Robina State High School and Bond University. It will run over one day at Bond University and be hosted by the Robina State High School STEM Ambassadors (team of Year 8-12 students). The goal is to provide a platform where students from the Greenheart Cluster primary schools, special…
TMOS Holograms at Sydney Science Trail School Excursions
Get hands on and see how holograms are made! Learn what holograms are, how they are used in everyday life and the light concepts behind the formation of holograms, including reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference. Use a laser pointer to visualise the light principles of reflection, refraction and diffraction See hologram printing in action! Take home your own diffraction glasses!…
2025 Marie Curie Lectures – Your quantum future with Dr Sol H Jacobsen
The humble electron is a pillar of modern technology. They power almost every aspect of daily life, from your toaster to your phone. But these devices use only one quantum property of the electrons: their charge. Today, physicists are harnessing other properties – such as their “spin” – to advance a new technological revolution. This…
Pocket Solar System
Inspired by the United States National Informal STEM Education Network, Pocket Solar System is a hands-on activity in which participants make a scale model of the distances between objects in our solar system. This activity is designed children aged 10 and over and will expand children’s understanding of the Solar System, bringing in the dimension…
