Questacon Smart Moves is a travelling outreach program promoting cutting edge research, new ideas and entrepreneurship<br />

in science, engineering and technology.<br />

On Monday 19 th May all the secondary students attended one<br />

hour sessions involving multimedia, interactive displays and<br />

informative discussion. We learnt about cutting edge ideas in<br />

Sports Science involving AFL and snow sports as well as<br />

shark protection, robotics and inventions by young people. We<br />

saw students trying to recreate the escape in the movie<br />

‘Chicken Run‛ using rubber chickens rubber gloves, umbrellas<br />

and sling shots. We also simulated computers games which<br />

rely on body movement.<br />

The talks encourage young people to get involved in Science<br />

and Technology and to be creative and innovative. Most importantly<br />

it was lots of fun and interesting.<br />
