School Holidays: Hologram Workshop

Children are invited to explore the strange and exciting science of light at this hands-on workshop where they'll make their own 3D hologram to take home. Discover how light behaves like both a wave and a particle - a quantum idea - and how interference and diffraction help create the amazing 3D images we call holograms!

Ages 8-12 and all children must be accompanied by an adult.

Spaces are limited - please book one ticket per family (maximum 2 children and 1 adult).

One hologram per family group

Select from one of the following sessions:

Session 1: 10:00am – 11:00am

Session 2:11:30am – 12:30pm

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:

This workshop is brought to you by QUBIC — the ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology. QUBIC is a team of scientists from universities across Australia who are using quantum science - the science of the tiniest things like light and atoms - to explore how life works. They’re building powerful new tools to help us see inside the brain, understand how proteins behave, and solve big challenges in health, energy, and the environment. We’re based at universities around the country, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Wollongong and Adelaide.

ABOUT THE VENUE:

MARRICKVILLE LIBRARY is accessible by lift from both the street and ground levels.

If you have any access or support requirements in order to participate fully, please let us know in the booking order form to ensure that we can arrange any reasonable adjustments. Please note: the venue is accessible for people using wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

CHILDREN'S LIBRARY PROGRAM GUIDELINES

Our activities are designed specifically for the age range stated. Age requirements are set based on content and to ensure a fun experience for all participants. Please consider this before booking your child in for an activity.

Places are limited, and bookings that do not meet the age requirements will be cancelled so another child that meets the age requirement may have the place.

Entry may be refused where an attendee is not within the age range advertised.

If you are unable to attend the activity, please cancel your booking as soon as possible to enable another child to participate. You can also contact the library on 02 9392 5588.

As library programs have limited spaces, failure to notify staff of cancellations on more than two occasions over a 12-month period, may result in bookings being refused in the future.

Parents and/or carers of participants under the age of 11, must remain in the vicinity of the program, in case of emergency and to collect the child at the end of the advertised program session time.
