Science is driven by innovation, and we can all be innovators if we can dream big, collaborate and keep asking questions. This year, Santa Sabina College kept this in our focus as we celebrated the theme ‘Innovation: Powering Future Industries’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We used liquid nitrogen to flash-freeze delicious soft-serve ice cream treats, crush flowers, shrink balloons and propel bottle rockets on the oval. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) taught us about sublimation while blowing bubbles and changing colours in theatrical chemical reactions. Scavenger hunters shared selfies of themselves exploring science across all parts of Sydney. Homeroom groups competed to demonstrate their general science knowledge in the homeroom quiz. The summit of our celebrations was through the launch of the inaugural Santa Science Showcase, an evening event during which six scientists from our broader college community shared their expertise and opportunities for innovative change in their fields of medicine, genetics, environmental science, artificial tissues, sustainable energy and flight. All who attended were inspired by the insights and future directions ahead for science. A huge thanks to all who made this exciting week possible! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video highlights of the evening can be found in the College Principal’s article<\/a> this week.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
