More than 1000 events will be held across the country during science week, August 13-21. Science week is a celebration of science and technology to increase interests in science pursuits and encourage younger people to become fascinated with the world we live in. National Science Week first started in 1997 and this year’s theme is Drones, Droids and Robots – exploring the fast paced realm of autonomous technologies.
This year’s theme is strong here in WA, an innovation that took the global market by storm – BrainChip! BrainChip can learn, evolve and respond to stimuli just like a brain! It is 5,000 times fast than other technology has can be used in robots, driverless cars and smartphones. How amazing is science?
There are a number of events across the nation and state but you don’t have to travel far to learn more with a number of events in regional WA, see below.
Build your own robot and look at the everyday use of robots in your home!
Try your hand at using flowers to dye fabric, explore how water colour travels through flowers and the simple chemistry of perfume making
