Capture "our changing world". The world changes around us all the time and science helps explain these changes. Examples of our changing world can be something as simple as day turning into night, or as complex as caterpillars becoming butterflies. Be inspired by the changing world around you and share your discovery with us!
National Science Week 2010 is fast approaching and with it the second official La Trobe University Science and Technology Careers Day, which will be held on 18 August 2010 at Discovery. Our sponsorship partners for this event are La Trobe University and the Australian Government through National Science Week.
