The FINstitute produced JCU’s first official marine (and freshwater) science fair showcasing student research and experience from around the globe and from all levels of experience!

The fair was open to all levels of study (undergrad/ masters/phd) and all labs wanting to present!

We aimed to mimic the feel of a high school science fair in a casual, friendly environment where participants showcased their work to fellow students, gained exposure, recruited volunteers, and gained presenting experience.

Interactive exhibits and displays ranged from underwater drones (ROVs) to baby shark respirametry to freshwater crayfish and more!

It was an educational playground full of fun
