What’s unusual about this photo?
Those of you have have been to the ASF will know that this picture is not out of the ordinary… Daleks are common place in this arena. Andrew doesn’t usually come with us to the Science Festival because we go during the week. This year, they decided at the last minute to hold it in May, rather than August, so we came on the Saturday to book into some of the things that interested us.
There was still some "fun" things in the main hall. Mark got to dress up at the fire brigade stall:
and NICTA had a great exhibit. The boys tested out their endurance and speed, the results being recorded by use of sensors.
Zac tried to build a sustainable environment on "Catchment Detox", drawing the others into the game.
and the boys got to see how cotton is taken from the plant and processed.
After a short lesson in areodynamics,
and some rocket building,
we went to a seminar on "CSI: Fact or Fiction?", learning about the work of forensic scientists. The boys also went to a session on The Square Kilometre Array.
Unfortunately, Andrew didn’t get to the Science of Beer seminar and after a full day at the convention centre, we decided not to go out star gazing that night. They did have some light hearted fun at the end of the day though:
…all in the name of Science!!!
