Over the course of Melbourne Knowledge Week last week FLEET volunteers engaged with around 300 visiting members of the public, talking about FLEET’s mission to ensure a sustainable future for computing, with some fun props to demonstrate electromagnetic forces and the role of quantum materials such as superconductors.
The bright yellow sustainable computers stall at the new MKW festival hub in Lonsdale St in the Melbourne CBD was an inviting venue to demonstrate hands-on science linked to FLEET research, and to engage visitors in discussions about the role of science in community well-being, energy consumption in computing, and fundamental research such as FLEET’s.
