Through engaging\, hands-on science activities\, children will learn how interference and diffraction work together to produce the stunning 3D images we call holograms\, making this family-friendly science workshop a unique opportunity to explore one of physics’ most fascinating concepts in a fun and accessible way. \nHologram Workshop @ QUBIC\nThis World Quantum Day\, kids and their families are invited to explore the quantum properties of light at a fun\, interactive workshop. \nParticipants will make their own 3D hologram to take home and discover how light behaves like both a wave and a particle\, and how interference and diffraction create the amazing 3D images we call holograms. \nRegistration is essential as spaces are limited\, with a maximum of 4 tickets per booking (1 adult\, up to 3 children). This event is suitable for ages 8 and above\, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. \nThis event is proudly brought to you by the ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology (QUBIC). \nFollowing the workshop\, take a tour of the UQ Physics Museum and see the famous Pitch Drop Experiment.
