Mt Druitt Science Festival

Event: Mt Druitt Science Festival (18 Jul 2024)

What an incredible time at the Mount Druitt Family Science Festival, organised by the Blacktown City Council and the Mount Druitt Ethnic Communities Agency! Live science demonstrations and interactive activities all packed in a day at the Dawson Mall and Mount Druitt Hub.

Families explored the fascinating event-based camera, which is used to track satellites and space objects, and saw how a robotic nose can be trained to detect scents like oranges and acetone. Children (and curious parents!) even tried EEG (electroencephalography) for the first time, witnessing their brain waves on a large screen.

Research teams featured: International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) and BabyLab
