TIME FOR TECH!

 

STEM is the future for food. It’s never been more important to be knowledgeable on what makes food technology tick, from sustainable agriculture to innovation to biosecurity.

 

Time for Tech explores how the more we know about food science and technology, the more we can solve problems in everyday life. Celebrating the National Science Week 2021 School Theme: Food: Different by Design, students will learn all about sustainable agriculture and laboratory-developed foods as well as its (sometimes unintended) consequences, and so be better informed about STEM, career pathways and how we can all do our bit to support the planet.

And how are we going to do that?
With comedy of course!

The show consists of interactive science sketch comedy segments that centre on different aspects of food technology. Students in grades 5-9 will learn about sustainable agriculture, the link between food technology and innovation, how technology helps design creative food solutions, and biosecurity in a COVID impacted world.​

 

LIVESTREAM PERFORMANCE:

The livestream performance is hosted live-in-real-time by your own Actor/Educator and includes interactive segments for students to answer quizzes, have guided discussions and ask questions in real time!

The performance is captured live-on-film with multi-cameras and in high definition, meaning everyone will be watching from the best seat in the house. Hosting a Perform Education Livestream Incursion means your whole school can be involved whether having a large group viewing, classroom by classroom sessions, or even with individual students included from home.
