YSA Brisbane received a grant from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund in December last year. We have been busy purchasing equipment and developing the material. Keep your eyes peeled for dates for training sessions for both of these workshops.
The Electron Workshop is designed to investigate and enjoy the concept of “Glow in the Dark." This workshop will focus on electrons and more importantly, the result of being exposed to various forms of radiation. These “effects” include phosphorescence, fluorescence, chemiluminescence and light emission.
The Innovation Workshop invites high school students to enter the world of YSAland create an innovative product and start a business to sell the product. It encourages students to improve their creative, innovative, time management, organisational, leadership, teamwork and business skills. This workshop takes the fun of inventing and grounds it in the real world of business.
The Queensland Government’s Gambling Community Benefit Fund provided $5169.00 to the Young Scientists of Australia Brisbane Chapter Inc to purchase the equipment for The Electron Workshop and the Innovation Workshop. |

Shaking off the drops of rain on Sunday morning the 18th of April, we arrived at the cinemas to see the 3D movie “How to Train Your Dragon.” It was an entertaining movie which I believe everyone enjoyed viewing. Good choice YSA’ers! As for myself, it was fascinating to view a 3D movie without those silly red and blue cardboard glasses!
After the movie we all walked over to Southbank and bought lunch, picking up a few extra YSA members as we went (they had decided to skip the movie). We sat around talking and laughing while we ate. It was good fun.
Being a Newbie this year it was wonderful to meet new faces and to recognize some others I had met at previous socials and of course, TSE earlier this year.
I would like to say “Thank You” to the Social Co-ordinators Lucy and Nicola. This was a great get-together and I am looking forward to attending the others that this year will bring!
