Science show with a bang
This event has already taken place.
Victoria University invites you to experience science with a bang at its free Family Science Spectacular at Footscray Park Campus on Wednesday 3 December at 6pm.
VU’s Professor Science Troupe members will transform water coolers into volcanoes, create explosions that rock the room, and shock the audience by setting their hands on fire during the 70-minute show.
The show will be followed by interactive science activities for parents and children.
VU Foundation Studies lecturer Nick Athanasiou said the annual event draws a wide range of people who want to savour raw science.
“It’s great for families because for many, this is their first experience with science. We give the audience a hands-on experience that is much more appealing than high-brow science events,’’ he said.
Professor Science Troupe provides VU education and science students with skills and confidence in communicating science knowledge to a diverse audience. For the past seven years, the Troupe has travelled to schools around Victoria and interstate to promote and demonstrate science.
