Young Stars: Building the universe brick by brick
Presented by ANU College of Science
The universe started with a big bang. Let's retrace our steps back to the beginning of time, and create our own universes with LEGO.
For 精东传媒app Science Week 2021, the Young Stars will build a model of the Universe as it grew from the Big Bang to today, using LEGO!
The kids will get to see how matter evolved over billions of years, and get hands-on with their own LEGO, which we will provide for those in the ACT thanks to 'Inspiring The ACT'.
Starting with the fundamental particles, represented by LEGO bricks, we will build up more complicated structures recreating the cooling of the Universe and fusion in Stars.
Each participant will be given a part of the Universe's evolutionary timeline to build. Some will make 'nuclei' and 'atoms', while some will consider 'subatomic' particles.
Join us in this cosmic adventure to build your own universe, brick by brick.
Suitable ages: Do you like LEGO? or 6+
But if you're older and interested, join anyway!
Timezone: Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne [AEST]
