Last month 15 Year 10 students travelled to Melbourne to participate in the Micro-Mathematicians enrichment program. The University of Melbourne conducted a fun and interesting workshop called \u2018Tilings\u2019, with the students getting creative with coloured multi-shaped tiles to enhance their knowledge of patterns in Maths.<\/p>\n

Lunch was provided by the University before students visited the Science Gallery where they explored the theme Natural\/Unnatural through interacting with a variety of artistic and very creative installations. <\/p>\n

They got to get up close and personal with a realistic model of the human organs to feel how they could be eventually affected by pollution, and the amazing sculpture of the hyper-realistic part human, part animal and her babies by Patricia Piccinini.

All students enjoyed the chance to wander, participate and wonder!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
