4/7/16 Questacon Science Debate 'Life in 2050 - Food, Water, Energy and Work'

 
Join us for a science debate, ‘Life in 2050 - Food, Water, Energy and Work’, that RC Canberra Weston Creek has organised as a fundraiser for one of our January NYSF students who was selected to attend the London International Youth Science Forum in July/August. The debate has a panel of very eminent speakers and will be held at the Questacon Japan Theatre. The Master of Ceremonies will be Mike Lee from the Alliance Francaise, well known for his hosting of Café Scientifiques both at CSIRO and the Alliance Francaise.  Full details here.
 
The evening will firstly provide an exciting and informative public debate on important and emergent issues, and secondly raise money to assist an extremely talented young science student from Canberra College to realise his dream of attending the London International Youth Science Forum in July.
