This first day of viewing ended at noon, and the it was back to the Trent campus for lunch and an afternoon of tours and presentations. Our group split up and went to different sessions (in part based on what people chose when registering, though not many seemed to get their first choices). Sessions included a "brief history" of space, "everyday chemistry", the night sky, and many more - though one or two may have been a little more dry on the interest side (not everyone can find greenhouses interesting!).
Many of the students attended a very interesting "humans in space" presentation at the end of the afternoon, and then off to a quick dinner. After dinner it was right back into a number of presentations and talks on topics such as Antarctic science, theoretical physics, an introduction to Australia by the Team Australia members, and more.
After that it was back to the rooms - an attempt to get everyone settled a little earlier in preparation for judging day tomorrow. And the heat is finally on in the rooms!
