KSHS students Marie Yandog, Brayden Conniford and Natalia Phillips-Petersen create cyanoprints as part of UQ\u2019s Experience Science program (Photo: UQ)<\/figcaption><\/figure>July 22, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students from Nanango, Kingaroy and Murgon State High Schools cured a deadly zombie virus, used lasers to make holograms and discovered the mysteries of mathematics at the University of Queensland\u2019s annual Experience Science program this week.<\/p>\n

The 2015 Experience Science program gives students the chance to trial university life through innovative science workshops in disciplines ranging from cosmology to entomology.<\/p>\n

This year the four-day program attracted 1100 students from 45 Queensland high schools to the university’s St Lucia campus.<\/p>\n

The students also assessed plants for signs of disease, investigated the hazards faced by stunt workers and viewed photochemical reactions.<\/p>\n

Associate Professor Kim Bryceson said the event was an excellent opportunity for high school students to experience the wide variety of sciences on offer at the campus.<\/p>\n

“The UQ and industry experts who facilitate our workshops demonstrate how science can be applied in everyday life, and across different industries,” Professor Bryceson said. <\/p>\n

“UQ Science offers an impressive range of study areas through its programs, and the Experience Science event provides a perfect platform for students to ask questions and discover where their interests truly lie.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
