Session details
You’ll attend your choice of not one, but two different workshops and see what it’s like to study aviation or STEM at uni. Choose from:
Calling all budding pilots! Get your hands behind the controls of a plane and take to the (virtual) skies in our flight simulator.
Apply the principles of programming and electronics to control the flow of traffic at a busy intersection with software used by our engineering students.
This workshop will teach you the basic scientific principles required to create your own engineering design capable of wirelessly transmitting electricity.
Compete against other students to design and build the lightest LEGO® catapult that can launch an object the furthest.
Investigate how mechanical engineers are using ocean wave power machines to not only save beaches from erosion damage, but capture that energy and generate electricity.
What are the different types of cyber-attacks, and how do they impact our daily lives? Get ready to find out exactly how web-based vulnerabilities work, then put your new tech skills to the test!
Take a journey to the cosmos in virtual reality! Learn all about astronomy with movies, animations and simulations developed by Swinburne's Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing.
