Orange primary and high school students will get an insight into science and science careers during Science in the Bush Orange, at Charles Sturt University (CSU) on Friday 2 September. While attending workshops, shows, talks, and the popular Science in the Bush Expo students will use environmental sensors and basic programming to find out how robots work and will watch a laser light show to demonstrate how lasers work. Program coordinator, Ms Catherine Beehag, says, “Science in the Bush is a unique opportunity for school students to engage with scientific ideas that capture their imagination, whether it’s the Charles Sturt University’s Delving Under Your Skin workshop, or the Australian Museum’s Mini-Beasts Magnified”. “The whole program picks up on the recognition that in Australia we must do more to interest kids in science,” says Dean of Science at CSU, Professor Nick Klomp. “We want them to feel the excitement of science and discovery so we can produce our fair share of scientists in inland Australia.” The program has 90 different timetabled activities over two days, and involves local and national scientific organisations.
