SUMMARY:Science Hall of Fame
DESCRIPTION:Write a poem about your chosen scientist for a Science Hall of Fame on the Science Rhymes website. Submit your rhyming verse poem by 31 July. \nChoose a scientist or science discovery you think is worthy of hanging in a Science Hall of Fame\, then write a rhyming verse poem on your chosen subject. \nBy the time this year’s National Science Week begins the Science Rhymes website will display a collection of rhyming verse poems about the scientists and science discoveries that have captured our imagination. \nYour poem could be about a historical scientist or natural philosopher like Archimedes from Greece; a milestone moment like Alexi Leonov’s first spacewalk for Russia\, or a superb scientific discovery like the first recorded Gravity Waves. \nThe Science Rhymes website has a free PDF download to help you on your way. More links and suggestions will be featured over the months leading up to National Science Week. \nPoems are to be submitted by email. Include your poem’s title & your name\, plus your town and school name (if appropriate). Earlier submissions (of 1-8 verses) are more likely to make it into the Science Hall of Fame. Published poems by children will be acknowledged by first name only (and school name where appropriate).

SUMMARY:Textual data sonification and algorithmic composition competition
DESCRIPTION:The Textual Data Sonification and Algorithmic Composition Competition challenges participants to write computer programs that translate text into data\, allocate data to specific sounds in the form of music notes (‘data sonification’)\, and then turn those notes into sheet music. The ultimate aim is to create a computer program that can use any text to generate a cappella vocal scores for soprano\, alto\, tenor and bass singers. \nThe competition will culminate with a vocal performance at RMIT University during National Science Week where winning and shortlisted entries will be demonstrated using text data provided by the audience\, and performed by singers with excellent sight reading skills. \nFurther details\, including competition rules\, are available online.

Survival depends on reaching the Colony. \nWhat does the crew need to survive the 400 km trek to join the Colony? Your task is to rank the list of available items in order of importance to allow the crew to reach the Colony in safety. \nParticipants can go into the draw to win a 25 cm Dobsonian Telescope. The first drawn correct entry will win. The draw occurs at 5.30pm on 18 August. The telescope can be picked up from the Observatory and a session on how to use it will be provided. \nViewing of Mars during its close approach through telescopes\, disability access available. More activities also included. 3rd Rock Cafe open for Martian snacks. \nCost: \n\nAdults $20\nConcession $15\nStudent $10\nFamily of four (2 adults\, 2 children under 18 years) $50\nFamily of five (2 adults\, 3 children under 18 years) $55
