Potentially more yapping than studying…but still a successful study session! With some fun interruptions from neighbouring lab sessions (sorry Koshy!) 😅

Our peer mentors and mentees caught up, connected and once again, took on Ben’s famous Hard Quiz – with Ian taking home the chocolate prize and bragging rights! 🍫

Best of luck with your mid-terms, everyone! You’ve got this ✨👏

Trivia, games and plenty of friendly competition! 🧠✨

This morning, MATS1192 students put their knowledge to the test with Materials Society of UNSW trivia session – from materials science and UNSW campus art and sculptures to general knowledge and pop culture.
There were also extra rounds of Wordle, Connections and Kahoots, making it a great way to meet classmates, learn some new facts and enjoy a little competitive fun along the way! 🎉

Preparing for take-off: collaboration in the Science Faculty ✈️

We had a blast welcoming students from Temasek Polytechnic to Materials Science & Engineering for a high-flying session of lab tours and demonstrations of our superconducting (with liquid nitrogen!) and electromagnetic maglev trains.

A huge thank you to Dhriti and the UNSW Aviation for hosting, to our demonstrators Jun, David and Jiarui, and George, our Technical Lab Manager, for making it all possible.

We hope TP AMS Aviators enjoy the rest of your time in Sydney!

Term 3 is off to a great start! 🎉

Today, we welcomed our new cohort of UG and PG students with some presentations, afternoon tea and conversations about life at the School of Materials Science & Engineering, what to expect and where their journeys might take them.

🚨 Spoiler alert: it’s going to be memorable and so fun!
