FLEET heading to Melbourne Knowledge Week

FLEET Research Fellow Sascha Hoinka (SUT) at the previous MKW, in 2019

Melbourne Knowledge Week (26 April-2 May 2021) will be an opportunity for FLEET to engage with the public about the exciting future of computing, and the vital role of energy-efficient electronics in that future.

FLEET’s sustainable computing booth will run for the full week at the festival hub, with hands-on science demonstrations linked to materials used in FLEET research, such as gallium, bismuth and ferrofluids.

Melbourne Knowledge Week showcases cool science and engineering projects in the city of Melbourne, connecting non-scientists with the research and technology around them.

The exercise also allows Centre members the opportunity to gain valuable experience in public science outreach, speaking to a diverse audience.
