CQUniversity Rockhampton's Open Day from 10am-2pm this Saturday (Aug 28) offers heart research displays and soul music, along with just about everything in between.

Organisers are encouraging whole families to attend as, on top of study and career information, there's plenty of entertainment, presentations and activities to interest all ages.

Featured activities include a 'masterfood' challenge, Australia's best short science films, dancing robots, research displays and animated creature design. Visitors can have their lung function and blood pressure checked.
