intouch Magazine

Science will be under the microscope when the Sydney Science Trail opens today with a world class line-up of events and scientists celebrating the power of science, and the power of connecting through science.

 

One of the nation’s largest free, online science events, the Sydney Science Trail is hosted by the Australian Museum and the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney as part of National Science Week, from 13 August - 13 September, 2021.


Now in its second year, Sydney Science Trail showcases the role science plays in shaping our lives – especially during the COVID-19 outbreak, which has seen the event move online again. The 2021 theme is Food: Different by Design, which aligns with the United Nations International Year of Fruits and Vegetables


The packed online program features something for everyone including inspiring virtual talks with leading scientists, on-demand activities such as plant and soil regeneration, design competitions, virtual tours, films, quizzes, interactive games, at home science and more.


Highlights include:

· Join the Arludo team and guest scientists as they uncover the science and technology behind your favourite food through games, including The Cake Town Calamity, and Quokkapocalypse.

· Hear from film legends, Jay Katz & Miss Death and scientists as they debunk the science in popular movies in a live virtual event, Reel Science

· Log into the Science of Rockets website and complete a design challenge in 30mins. Sketch a prototype or concept to make the world a better place. Then, join a live chat with Aerospace engineers to discuss your design.

· Who believes we’ll get to Mars? Hear from some of the brightest minds such as Professors Sarah Brough, Iver Cairns, and Susanna Guatelli about space weather, astronaut protection and whether we’ll ever make our Mars aspirations a reality.

· Connect with leading educators such as Emily Calandrelli, host of Netflix hit series, Emily’s Wonder Lab, and Corey Tutt, founder of Deadly Science and 2020 Human Rights hero.

· Go behind the scenes with the AM’s palaeontology team and investigate the collection and the latest technologies used to identify fossils.

· Hear from food and health expert Professor Johannes le Coutre in conversation with food reporter and journalist Joanna Savill as they explore the future of food.

· Learn about soil and plant regeneration with RGB scientists and plant a Wollemi pine.

· Join in the science trivia for the whole family, where you and your family can test your scientific knowledge against other families across the city.
