To celebrate National Science Week last week 10 – 18 of August, Curtin Volunteers! and Curtin Kalgoorlie supported a Science After Dark event held by the Museum of the Goldfields. All school-aged children in the community were welcomed to view and participate in some exciting science experiments and activities on the night.
Curtin hosted seven diverse stalls at the event, offering an array of engaging activities. Children had the chance to immerse themselves in virtual underground mine simulation using VR headsets, examine gold samples through microscopes, witness the creation of elephant toothpaste, and learn how to make colourful milk rainbows with guidance from our dietetic students.
A big thank you to the below individuals for making the event possible:
- Curtin Volunteers! Kalgoorlie students
- GUDRH staff and students
- Senior Lecturer Phillip Stothard
- Research Associate Arturo Garcia
- Research Associate Lisha Dong
With their help, we hope to develop the learning of science concepts and stimulate curiosity in children in the fascinating world we live in.
