LAST WEEK’S MEETING
John McLennan introduced the guest speaker for the night, Flint De Frenne a Maleny State High School student, who spoke about his experience at a National Youth Science Forum held in Canberra last January. Flint spoke of the application process and the not so daunting experience of facing the selection panel and how excited he was to hear that he was chosen to attend the forum.
He enjoyed the Governor's Dinner where he met with fellow National Youth Science participants.
Flint's main interest is in engineering and he learned the many different avenues of this profession and was then
able to narrow down the career path which he plans to pursue. His particular interest is in physics and engineering technology.
Flint spoke of the marvels of technology, which allow for the storage of information, and how interesting it was to meet with scientists in person during his time in Canberra. He is amazed at what is yet to be discovered.
Unfortunately the Mt Stromlo Observatory suffered from the recent bush fires and has yet to be rebuilt, however the visit to the Australian National University proved very interesting and informative for the students. Flint made many new friends and enjoyed the social activities during his time away and no doubt will keep in contact via Facebook.
He remarked that he felt more mature following this experience. He plans to encourage other students to apply for this opportunity when it is next advertised. Flint was thanked for his presentation by Bernice McLennan.
