The Scientist for a Day program is a social and educational full day workshop for young minds aged 8-12, designed to show kids what it’s like to work in different areas of science.
These autumn school holidays, children will meet Amanda Hay & Dr Yi-Kai Tea (aka Kai the Fish Guy) and learn what their life as an ichthyologists entails. Learn what ichthyology is, including what makes a fish a fish, their anatomy and how they move.
As they learn about the ocean environment and how creatures live in such environments, your little ichthyologists in the making will undertake hands-on scientific experiments, get access to behind-the-scenes of the Australian Museum Research Institute (AMR) collection and learn about the effects of climate change on our oceans and what they can do to help.
On Wednesday 19 and Friday 21 April 2023: 9.30am - 3.30pm.
Fee applies.
