How can we discover exoplanets when they're so insanely hard to observe? We'll look at the current methods of discovering planets beyond our solar system and see exactly why these objects are hard to confirm. The class will also discuss what we can deduce about these planets, why this science matters, and what the future looks like for this field.

Want to be able to form a coherent, substantial argument about anything? Want to practice your impromptu debate skills? We’ll talk about how to structure an argument and come up with solid points in a really short timeframe, then put those skills into practice with some debates!

What are gravitational waves? What did LIGO detect? Why is this important? We'll talk about the basics of general relativity and use it to explore the LIGO gravitational wave detector's principles, challenges and recent successful detection.

How can we discover exoplanets when they're so insanely hard to observe? We'll learn how, and also look at the current methods of discovering planets beyond our solar system and see exactly why these objects are so hard to confirm. The class will also discuss what else we can deduce about these planets, why this science matters, and what the future is for the field.

The force behind society, the source of countless legends, the most noble and relevant of creatures: the sacred bee. Come and buzz with excitement about the folklore surrounding the insect that is literally the bee's knees (and also the rest of the bee).

What are the implications of a nuclear world? From weaponry to power, society's interactions with nuclear science have huge ramifications for humanity. We'll start by learning the basics of radiation and nuclear science, analyse the actual risk of a 'nuclear apocalypse', then discuss the scientific and social aspects of the aftermath of a nuclear catastrophe.

How can we discover exoplanets when they're so insanely hard to observe? We'll learn how, then try to discover our own planet with one of the methods we learnt about! We'll also look at the current methods of discovering planets beyond our solar system and see exactly why these objects are so hard to confirm. The class will also discuss what else we can deduce about these planets, why this science matters, and what the future is for the field.

Ever wondered how we get such incredible pictures of objects in space? Learn exactly how astronomers manage this, and then use real data to turn raw telescope images into stunning colour astrophotography, or how we can use this information to discover asteroids and more. We'll go over how astronomers take images and process them for various purposes, and then use data from a remote telescope to put these skills into practice.
