Due to the continuing COVID-19 safety measures, PrimeSCI! will still be providing live-streamed Zoom workshops for the April school holidays.

The live workshops are scheduled to run for a minimum of 40 minutes and include exciting demonstrations, hands-on activities to follow at home, interactive polls, and the opportunity to post science questions to be answered by our PrimeSCI! presenters. 

Please note: Children’s privacy and internet safety is important to us. Children will only be able to view our presenters, and not any other participants.

Enrolment fee: $10.50 per family (including Trybooking fee).

Capacity: Maximum 80 registrations per webinar session.

Check out our new and exciting topics

The Unseen World (Grade 3 - 6)

Our lives changed 12 months' ago because of something we cannot see - but the unseen has always been around, and we have found ways of living with them on our amazing planet. Explore the incredible world of microbes (and viruses), the impact they have on our everyday life, and understand why we must do the things we are asked to do now, to protect ourselves and one another. Learn more about the science of vaccines.

Presenters: Lydia and Chris

Brains (Prep - Grade 4)

Learn more about the science of the brain to identify important parts of the brain and their different functions. Take part in fun brain activities to test the different parts of your brain!

Presenters: Lydia and Heather

Virtual Universe and Black Holes (Grade 3 - 6)

Take a trip out into the solar system with a virtual reality app for your smartphone. Learn about planets, stars and gravitational waves, but don't get too close to a black hole or it might turn you into spaghetti.

PrimeSCI! will be joined again by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) for this popular session. 

Families will need one device to run Zoom for this online workshop, and one smartphone, tablet or iPad to run the free SciVR app. Please check that the SciVR app works on your device by downloading, opening and moving the device around to see a 360-degree view.

Presenter: Lisa, OzGrav
