Take part in an exciting demonstration of science brought to life. This workshop will captivate your curiosity through a series of chemical experiments, including colourful transformations and explosive reactions.
This workshop will introduce you to biomechanics: where medical engineering meets bionics. You’ll learn all about how mechanical and electrical engineers come up with solutions to medical problems. Design and build your own prototype of a bionic hand, then put it to the test with a challenge!
Investigate how mechanical engineers are using the power of waves to stop erosion and generate electricity. Watch a live demonstration of an ocean wave power machine from Swinburne’s mechanical engineers.
Learn all about astronomy through innovative virtual reality technology developed by Swinburne's Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing. Hosted by a professional astronomer, this entertaining workshop includes movies, animations and simulations that focus on stars, galaxies and cosmology.
Journey into the realm of cyber intelligence with an interactive workshop led by expert cybersecurity professionals. Unlock the secrets of the digital world as you discover different types of cyber-attacks, then develop vital cybersecurity skills with a series of cybersecurity activities.
