Published on 12 March, 2009
Hundreds of Year 11 students from Rockhampton and Yeppoon schools have converged on CQUniversity Rockhampton (March 12) for a 'meet the scientists' session.
They engaged with scientists involved in pharmacology, river health, aquaponics, immunology, 'natural sweetener' (stevia) plants and compost tea.
Glenmore High School students Rochelle Breingan, Keely Ireland, Kaitlin Radstaak and Charnee Baker enjoy learning about hydroponics at CQUniversity this week.
