Young Scientists Awards

Last Friday Mia Bogovic and Amara Jeyaganesh attended the Young Scientists Awards presentation. They listened to Guest Speakers such as Dr Harley Scammell who is a theoretical quantum physicist and Professor James Wallman, Dean of the Faculty of Science at UTS.

Both girls were recognised for their projects – Amara receiving First Place for the Chemistry Encouragement Award and Mia the Scientific Engagement Award for Years 5-6. Amara’s project was titled ‘Which method of coating metal will protect it from oxidation and corrosion most effectively?’ and Mia’s project was ‘Taking a Deeper Dive into the Five Second Rule: Fact or Fiction.’  Mia has now been invited to submit her entry into the National ASTA i3 Awards, one of only two primary students selected for this competition.
