Mini Shimmy Holiday Workshop
Mini Shimmy is a belly dance class designed for Primary School aged children. Belly Dance Amethyst is so pleased to offer their second school holiday program.
Belly dance is a low impact exercise which helps to develop coordination, musicality, self expression and confidence.
If you have a little dancer in your life, or are looking for a new entertainment for the kids these school holidays, this is perfect! Children will be entranced by a dazzling performance by one of our professional belly dancers, get hands on making their own personal costume accessory and have a blast learning some key belly dance moves to perform for you at the end of the class. The workshop is open to boys and girls or Primary School age, from 5 years to 12.
Light refreshments will be provided and parents/guardians are invited to relax with a coffee in our lounge while the kids dance.
BRAVE Flinders Research & Innovation Series | Laying Waste to Pollution
Do you recall the “BP Deepwater Horizon”? It was a devastating oil spill that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico and was the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. Thousands of birds, mammals, fish, and sea turtles were soaked with leaked oil, many studies leading to grim outcomes for many of the species. What would we do if we saw an oil spill on one of our pristine coastlines?
A solution to this wicked problem has been recently invented by Dr Justin Chalker. Justin has developed a sponge-like material that soaks up crude oil and diesel spills using an absorbent rubber made from waste cooking oil and sulphur, itself a byproduct of the petroleum industry.
Furthermore, it can capture the largest sources of mercury emissions produced here in Australia, and across the globe.
Come and listen to Justin discuss his interest in taking waste and making it into new and useful polymers, where he will present the three applications using this polymer to benefit the environment and human well-being (including unpublished work):
- oil spill remediation
- mercury remediation and
- sustainable subsistence gold mining.
