The Forrest Research Foundation are welcoming families for National Science Week.
- Get hands-on: building chemical models, seeing how gravity waves work, checking out 3D printed hearts, and getting up close with marine animal skeletons.
- Try a virtual reality station where you can journey inside molecules or watch the universe being born.
- Step in front of our greenscreen and become part of amazing pictures of everything from atoms to galaxies.
- Chat with scientists about their awesome research. We're even teaming up with Scitech, so their awesome educators will be there with even more experiments and demos!
The Mission of the Forrest Research Foundation is to create a world-leading collaborative centre of research and scholarship in Western Australia. The Foundation supports over 60 PhD scholars and postdoctoral fellows and their families, who bring their talents and creativity from all parts of the world to Western Australia to conduct ground-breaking research.
