NITV Radio spoke to the organisers of the Indigenous Science Experience at Redfern -
Professor Joanne Jamie, who is Co-Director of the National Indigenous Science Education Program and organiser of the Indigenous Science Experience at Redfern.
Renee Cawthorne, who has been involved with the Indigenous Science Experience at Redfern for many years and as Joanne Jamie says, "is one of our stars of the event" and Tahnee Bentley, who is part of the team that will be providing the VR experience (and a tour of a nuclear power plant!) at the Redfern event.
“The National Indigenous Science Experience at Redfern starts at 10am, and runs till 3pm, but we especially encourage everyone to come at 10am, when we will have a Smoking ceremony,” says Professor Jamie. Then various workshops and talks will follow as well as an opportunity to taste traditional food.
