Event Description
- Full Description:
- Join us as we launch the Engaging Science Trail, a joint initiative between Samford Ecological Research Facility (SERF) and TERN. A showcase of research infrastructure, educational activities and our newly minted trail. All developed by educational experts, academics and site experts to provide a lasting contribution to Queensland’s scientific literacy. Proudly supported by the Queensland Government—Engaging Science Grants.
What to expect
The Engaging Science Trail will officially be opened by Queensland’s Chief Scientist Professor Kerrie Wilson, and will be the first interactive education trail in South East Queensland. Participants will engage with the trail through digital technology, as they meander through the bushland, learning about native flora and fauna, indigenous culture, environmental research projects, research infrastructure and the environment.
The day will also include the first public viewing of Digital SERF, presentations, and demonstrations in the fields of carbon sequestration, educational outreach, environmental drone research, long-term environmental monitoring the conservation of threatened vertebrate species and art-science collaborations, just to name a few!!
To ensure we can cater appropriately, please accept this calendar invite, and indicate which talks or demonstrations you would like to attend. A program will be emailed out to you closer to the day. We can’t wait to see you all there.
