On Friday night, UOW’s Science Space celebrated its 30th birthday as an organisation. With a number of distinguished guests including Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery, Paul Scully MP, Fiona Phillips MP and Sharon Bird MP in attendance the event celebrated Science Space’s history with flair.
Since opening in 1989 – Science Space has welcomed over 1.3 million visitors through their doors. Of that, they have seen well over 300,000 school group students, from over 100 different schools each year.
It only takes one person to mention our element of the month at Science Space Wollongong to conjure imaginative stories of political intrigue, plotting and murder. Arsenic has been associated with deadly poisons since ancient times.
At Science Space Wollongong we view sustainability across three dimensions: economy, society and the environment. It is defined as; avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance; “the pursuit of global environmental sustainability.”
Before the end of this year, we asked our staff at Science Space Wollongong which 12 elements we should focus on for the International Year of the Periodic Table and boy did they deliver this month. We’re looking at the universe’s most nonreactive element; Neon.
Our next element featured as part of the International Year of the Periodic Table is the bold and beautiful… Hydrogen. This year at Science Space Wollongong, for the month of May, we’re going back to the very beginning; element number one.
Look! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No! It’s a largely nonreactive noble gas that fluoresces under certain conditions…
To celebrate the International Year of the Periodic Table at Science Space Wollongong, we’re picking a different element to talk about each month. For March, it’s a strong choice; Titanium.
Today, February the 11th, is the United Nations International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
