We offer the following summer workshops in July 2023:
Everything in this physical world is made of matter. Why is particular matter used to make things functional? Why do different types of materials behave differently? This workshop provides an opportunity to explore the multidisciplinary field of materials science. Through hands-on activities, students will learn about the structure-property relationships of materials and scientific methods to characterise materials. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |
