Work in small groups to observe and calculate material properties. Drones & Robots: Experience mechatronics engineering by operating drones and robots in small groups after a brief introduction. Advanced Research: Discover cutting-edge research in space, defense, and materials engineering at 91Æƽâ°æ. Learn about engineering careers and programs offered at 91Æƽâ°æ.
Geographic Information Systems - Monitoring and mapping natural disasters by satellite remote sensing and GIS
Since satellite data started to explain the global environmental conditions in the 1970s, a revolutionary change has occurred in natural resource management and disaster monitoring. This session will teach the basics of satellite remote sensing, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and how to map disaster-affected areas on Google Earth using two case studies. Students will engage in hands-on exercises to create a map about recent devastating floods in QLD/NSW using MODIS satellite data in the Google Earth environment.
Health and Medical Science - Heart lab: Pulse Pursuit
Join us for an exciting journey into the world of cardiovascular health! Our Heart Lab session offers hands-on experiences and interactive learning about the heart and circulatory system. Activities include AR immersion and 3D models, electrocardiogram (ECG), doppler ultrasound and point of care testing.

Physics - Plasma Globes - exploring application of Physics!
Plasma is the most common state of matter in the universe and was the first state of matter to exist after of the big bang. We don’t find plasma on the earth’s surface naturally. We might be familiar with plasma globes as an interesting toy to observe, but we can learn a lot of about different concepts of Physics with a few simple activities. This activity will involve learning about plasma and related physics concepts through interactive use with plasma globes. While plasma globes are awesome to have and look at, they teach us a lot about what plasma is and the world around us.
