Women in Physics

posted 04 July 2017 | Staff Announcement (staff)

A celebration of STEM subjects to promote the options and opportunities to future students and influencers. Wed 19th July, 9am - 2.30pm, ECL1

The Western Australian branch of the Australian Institute of Physics and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering invites Year 10 – 12 Science classes and the interested public to attend this year’s “Women in Physics” event.

The day will include presentations from internationally recognised researchers Dr Katie Mack (Melbourn University) and Professor Phil Bland (Curtin University), followed by a game show style physics panel, where science meets comedy.

During the lunch break the universities and SciTech will be hosting interactive Science Stalls, where you can learn about Newtonian physics, discover the maths behind bubbles and much more.

 

Professor Klinken will be opening the day and giving a short talk on the importance of STEM for the future.
