In this visually stunning session, we made a pyramid to project 3D images from a smartphone or tablet using the principle of “Pepper’s Ghost”: an illusion technique used in the theatre, amusement parks, and concerts.
Plant Doctors
How can you tell when a plant is sick? Together, we became plant doctors – or plant pathologists – and diagnosed sick plants.

Do you want to become an unbeatable game-player? In this session, we created our own card deck and used statistics to calculate our chances of winning or losing on our own Pokemón-inspired card game!

In this session, we created our own bird whistles based on the biology of birds and saw the sound waves created by the whistles on our computers!
