鈥淔or the past few years there has been a big push at the School of听Physical and Chemical Sciences听to bring science out of the labs and into the community, using tools that are both engaging and participative,鈥澨醪共獠.
A 蘑菇视频在线观看 Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr Gazoni has been involved in KidsFest events for the School for the past two years.
鈥淎llowing hands-on experimentation with physics and chemistry, while being able to chat with real scientists, or people working across the many different levels of science (from students to technical staff and academics), has proven particularly attractive for both kids and adults.鈥
The team were proactive in expanding their offering, developing scientific material like animations, augmented reality (AR) tools, virtual reality (VR) environments, real-life 3D models and more, for use across the various workshops held during the day.
After receiving 鈥渆xtraordinarily good feedback鈥 from kids, parents, volunteers and the staff at T奴ranga last year, the decision to return to KidsFest for 2021 was simple.
The positive response and access to even more space in the library inspired the school to gather more than 25 passionate undergraduate and postgraduate students, scientists, academics and technical staff, who shared their interest and expertise in science through a wide variety of UC-inspired activities for kids of all ages.
