Architecture
Working together in larger groups you will construct a bamboo arch shelter. You will learn the origins of the arch, and how architects utilise this shape in modern design structures.
Architecture
Using only spaghetti, tape and string. You will work together in groups to design the tallest free-standing tower that can support a marshmallow without collapsing.
Architecture
Act as a client’s architect and utilise the principles of architecture (site orientation, client briefing, working to constraints) to develop and design a space.
Architecture
This creative workshop gives you a chance to imagine and design a space just for you.
Engineering
Gain hands on and practical experience of wiring and programming an Arduino to develop a prototype medical device! Students will experience a day in the life of a Health Engineer through the activity, and learning about Electrical, Biomedical and Software Engineering with real applications.
Engineering
This workshop sheds light on the challenges faced by women in disadvantaged communities, particularly around maternal health. We explore how engineering can be used as a vehicle for addressing these issues in the context of Timor-Leste.
Engineering
This workshop explores the difficulties faced by women such as access to education, maternal health, gender-based violence and water and sanitation. Students investigate how engineering can be used to address the issue of limited maternal healthcare in the context of Timor-Leste.
Engineering
UQ Women in Engineering run an interactive presentation focussing on how diverse engineering really is, allowing students to think differently about the impact they can make on this world through engineering.
Engineering
This workshop looks at discovering new ways to generate power.
Engineering
Floating house workshop exposes students to a variety of issues related to construction and civil engineering.
Engineering
In this workshop you will assemble and test a 3D printed prosthetic hand.
Engineering
Prosthetic Leg exposes students to a variety of issues related to healthcare and medical engineering. It introduces students to the global issue of appropriate medical technologies such as prosthetic devices.
Engineering
Water for Life focuses on issues related to sanitation and the provision of water. It aims to educate students about the current global water crisis and how to reduce their own water usage.
Engineering
Students will work together in groups to design, construct and launch a solid fuel model rocket.
Information Technology
In this hands-on activity, you’ll learn to design creative ICT solutions for people in everyday life.
Information Technology
Gain hands-on experience of wiring and programming an Arduino or micro controller.
Information Technology
User experience design, or UX, is changing the way we connect with products, services and each other - using MakeyMakey kits find out how in this interactive workshop!
Information Technology
Take the first step to learning about electrical engineering, electronics and micro-controllers.
Information Technology
A fun, creative workshop where students are introduced to algorithmic thinking, prediction and planning.
Information Technology
The Artificial Intelligence workshop is aimed at students with some experience in robotics.
Information Technology
This workshop introduces students to the exciting world of robotics by building and programming robots.
