SUMMARY:Future Martians Podcast
DESCRIPTION:“Why aren’t we reaching for the stars?” \nMars One astronaut candidates Josh Richards and Dianne McGrath speak with fellow candidates from around the world about the Mars One project\, their motivations for applying for this one-way mission to Mars\, and what they are doing to become Future Martians. Future Martians is a 12-episode podcast series developed for National Science Week\, with two episodes released each week throughout August. \nTo subscribe and follow the podcast series\, go to Soundcloud. \nSocial media profiles for Josh and Dianne: \nJosh Richards\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshrichardsspacepirate\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/mighty_ginge\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mighty_ginge/\nWebsite: http://joshrichards.space. \nDianne McGrath\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dianne.McGrath.Astronaut.Candidate/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/liteandportable\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/damcgrath/\nWebsite: https://www.diannemcgrath.com.au. \nAbout Mars One\nMars One aims to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars. Before carefully selected and trained crews will depart to Mars\, several unmanned missions will be completed\, establishing a habitable settlement waiting for the first astronauts to arrive. Mars One consists of two entities: the not-for-profit Mars One Foundation and Mars One Ventures AG. The Mars One Foundation implements and manages the mission and owns the mission hardware. It also selects and trains the crews and is building an ever-growing community of experts and supporters that follow the progress of the mission and contribute to it. \nMars One Ventures holds the exclusive monetization rights around the Mars One mission. There are many revenue possibilities around the mission to Mars: merchandise\, ads on video content\, broadcasting rights\, partnerships\, Intellectual Property\, events\, games\, apps\, and many more. More information about Mars One.

SUMMARY:ITEC Australia Competition
DESCRIPTION:International Youth Technology and Engineering Challenge (ITEC) Australia is a national competition consisting of primary and secondary-school students only in partaking in a coding/programming competition\, also consisting of creating your own Virtual Reality content. \n  \nA FREE competition to enter: the aim of ITEC Australia Competition is to teach primary and secondary-school students how to code/program and create their own VR content. Of course\, not all students will know how to code\, and this is great\, because this is what we want to teach them. If some students DO know how to code\, there are always more challenging tasks they could complete…such as our Augmented Reality (AR) VIVID colouring packs. \nThis competition will give students the opportunity to apply technical knowledge in practice. Some of the benefits include: \n\nNurtures interest in Science and Technology\nEnhances students’ ability to learn\, think and execute\nStudents will be working on our 3D program and learn to code easily; our 3D program is one of the most advanced programs in the world\nFree to enter\nMakes learning enjoyable and fun\nAwards and recognition for the winner(s).\n\nTo get involved in this competition\, you will need to register online with their  name and email address. Please note that each student is required to use their name and email address (if students don’t have email addresses\, they are required to use their parents’ email address). \nFor more information call to Eni Xhebro (Head of Marketing) on 0451 049 772. \nITEC is a collaborative effort of countries including: Australia\, Canada\, the UK and the US. We are looking for young talent in Australia in the intelligence era\, which is focused on innovative thinking.

SUMMARY:Astrophotography Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A day and evening that introduces you to the concepts of night sky photography and then you get to try it. Suitable for those who have some familiarity of daytime photography and who are keen to expand their horizons into the night and put into practice what they learn. \nThis astrophotography workshop will be canvassing and introducing concepts that will assist both the amateur and professional photographer. \nThe afternoon will have an array of lectures given by experienced and acknowledged astrophotographers. Practical hands-on sessions will then be held during the evening at our registered Observatory. \nTopics include an introduction to wide field astrophotography\, time lapse photography\, aurora photography\, deep sky imaging\, image processing and more. Weather permitting\, attendees will be able to use some of the Society’s premium equipment for some deep sky imaging. \nTea\, coffee and biscuits will be provided during the day\, then a BBQ and refreshments will be supplied to gear you up for the night ahead. \nRemember to bring your camera and tripod for the practical component. \nPlease dress appropriately for being outdoors and on a grassy or uneven surface. You may bring a small torch (red globe or covered in red cellophane). \nThe observatory is marked on Google Maps and on the Melways at map reference 151/E1. \nDrving directions\nThe venue is in regional/rural Victoria and is entered on the east side of Nepean Highway. Drive carefully through the park\, with the possibility of wildlife on the road after dark. You will travel about 2 km along a sealed road\, over three cattle grids\, past a visitors’ centre on your left and vineyard on your right\, up the hill then straight ahead through an open gate. Do not turn left to Josephine’s restaurant. Travel past the righthand side of the Shire Nursery\, with the Park Ranger’s house on your right\, then the observatory is 100 m further along on the left.
