Astro-Outreach

At Swinburne we are lucky to have a Virtual Reality theatre, and a dedicated group of animators who produce fantastic 3D content. You can view movie content at the Swinburne Astronomy YouTube channel. AstroTours are movies, animations and simulations shown in 3D - and I am an AstroTour guide.

I am also involved in the Scientists in Schools program.
