On 27 and 28 May staff from Council’s Sustainability Unit and Building Services Department participated in the Science in the Suburbs Expo at Sydney Olympic Park with an interactive display on the Solar Boat Challenge.
Science in the Suburbs is one part of the outreach programs undertaken as part of the Science in the City project run by the Australian Museum and the University of Sydney. Modelled on the successful Science in the City event, the expo provides students with the opportunity to attend talks, shows, workshops and activities on science and technology. The first day is for high schools and the second day for primary schools.
Council’s display on the Solar Boat Challenge gave kids the opportunity to find out more about the challenge, have a closer look at the model solar power boats and how they work, and learn more about solar energy. Some of the other organisations there on the day included University of Sydney, Questacon, Jenolan Caves, NSW Department of Primary Industries, University of Newcastle and Fizzics Education.
Science in the Suburbs events have been held since 2004 and cater for schools in outer Sydney and regional areas. The project is supported by the Australian Government through the Science Connections Programme administered by the Department of Education, Science and Training.
