Science Week (14-22 August) 2021
This year the theme for Science Week 2021 is food - different by design. At JTCC, we always celebrate Science week and even though we’re in lockdown, this year will be no different. This year we are celebrating with an escape room, a hackathon and a paper plane competition.
The escape room was completed remotely on STILE and the students had to work through 7 challenges. A $25 voucher was up for grabs for the fastest person in each junior year group.
JTCC has a team competing in the ANSTO HACKATHON for Science Week. A hackathon is an event in which a large number of people meet to engage in collaborative computer programming. Students will be competing for $3000 worth of prizes.
JTCC will be holding its 3rd annual paper plane competition. This year we will have 2 categories: best design and longest air time. Students will be competing for a $25 voucher in each category.
In their Science classes, year 7 students are doing some citizen science making observations of Cockatoo scavenger behaviours and year 9 students are seeing what happens to basil seeds that have been in space.
Happy Science Week everyone.
