Law and Justice - Legislating for Future AI

Physics - Plasma Globes - exploring application of Physics!
Plasma is the most common state of matter in the universe and was the first state of matter to exist after of the big bang. We don’t find plasma on the earth’s surface naturally. We might be familiar with plasma globes as an interesting toy to observe, but we can learn a lot of about different concepts of Physics with a few simple activities. This activity will involve learning about plasma and related physics concepts through interactive use with plasma globes. While plasma globes are awesome to have and look at, they teach us a lot about what plasma is and the world around us.

Professional Communcation: PR and Advertising
Ãâ·ÑɫƬ’s Professional Communication and Advertising major covers key areas of both public relations and advertising practice to provide a solid professional foundation for graduates working in the contemporary industry.

Participants will have the chance to apply themselves to a realistic communications task that draws public relations and advertising together to promote a popular music festival, highlighting many aspects of these exciting roles.

Rocket Science 101!
Delve into the mechanics of rocket propulsion using the dynamic example of water rockets. Participants will discover the science behind pressurising water within a bottle to generate thrust, experiencing firsthand the principles that propel rockets into the sky. Throughout the course, students will gain insight into the intricate processes involved in launching a rocket, from conception to touchdown. Engage in hands-on activities where you'll build and launch your very own water rocket to predict and control its trajectory. This program is suitable for anyone interested in Space Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Simulation and Engineering.

Storytelling with Photography
