A to Z of awesome science

SEE the alphabet like you have never seen it before, when the Alphabet of Awesome Science bring not one, but two shows to Swan Hill Town Hall on September 13.

Join professors Lexi Con and Noel Edge (the Word Nerd and the Science Freak) for a thrilling voyage through the alphabet – where great big chewy sesquipedalian words inspire mind-blowing scientific surprises.

Swan Hill Town Hall Performing Arts and Venue manager Simon Myers said Professor Lexi Con had curated a curious collection of her favourite words, in fact, one for every letter of the alphabet.

“Each word provide provides Professor Noel Edge with inspiration for a quirky scientific demonstrations – that squish and squirt, float and fly, erupt and explode,” he said.

“It will be equal parts explosive, messy, spectacular, hilarious, fascinating and gross.”

This project/organisation is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
