What a busy science week we have been having. Last Friday we had Science for Seniors Shows and Family Science Shows on Saturday at the shed. These days we're supported by Inspiring Victoria. Today we completed 14 of the 23 shows we are presenting at Surfside Primary School. These shows have been supported with a grant from the Government through the Australian Science Teachers Association. Simon Stuart and Bruce Ward from the shed have enjoyed presenting these shows with the grateful assistance of Josh Peters from Bellarine Secondary College. This is part of our shed's Science from the Shed community program. There's been great positive feedback from the students. We have been very impressed by the interest, knowledge and thinking shown by the students.
We have presented 3 levels of shows for junior, middle and senior years.

Is it science or magic? It doesn’t matter it will still be exciting and interesting.
Did you know that senior citizens who participate in mind stimulating activities can improve their cogitative abilities, rejuvenate their memory and even slow down the aging process? Recent studies clearly show that seniors who stay mentally active enjoy all of these rewards while having fun at the same time. Participating in our science events, seniors are given the opportunity to interact with their peers, share memories and be reminded of a more youthful time of their life. Rediscover the joy of science through our programs. You don’t have to be really interested in science to participate; we hope we will provide you with an entertaining hour. Jogging your scientific brains once in a while is a great way to be interested in learning new things.
Lifelong learning has proven to be a great way for people of all ages to stay alert, motivated and enthusiastic about life.
Even if you’re not that interested in science why not just come along for a day out and enjoy the magic.
A National Science Week event, presented with the support of the Inspiring Victoria program.

First outing Saturday for our portable mini golf course. Saturday morning at Bunnings Leopold. It's still a work in progress with 2 more holes to be constructed plus more obstacles. Bunnings Leopold provided some of the materials used in the construction and we thank them for this. This Bunnings activity is free. Let us know what you think if you use it. Will be available for hire by community groups.

We have been hit with a high rate of absences due to illness, accidents and covid. Our volunteers are elderly and do their best to help people where we can. Ufortunately sometimes this means that there are delays in getting jobs done. We are not a business but often take on jobs people can't get done commercially. We're trying our best.
We have returned to making the portable mini-golf course that will be available to community groups after putting it off for some time. We've also started on the fire engine for Woodlands Kinder playground.
By the way we now have eftpos facilities than may be of benefit to some as many people are moving to cashless transactions.
If your job has been slow to be completed then we are sorry but we are doing the best we can.
