Kids Skype with Professor Imberger

Apply an enterprising approach to a team project

After a great day of river activity and action the MKGP members met the next day for an opportunity to review their progress and report their findings to Professor Imberger at the Centre for Water Research, University of Western Australia. Using Skype the MKGP members gathered around the MK laptop and watched modern technology do its thing. After a few quick calls to Australia the Skype was set up using the big screen so the participants could see each other. MKGP members, in a sitting room in South Africa,MK Australia members sitting around the Boardroom table at the Cente for Warer Reseach. It was a very excitign moment - the first time the members had used this technology to report to one another. The young people talked about their river and clean up activities. Professor Imburger joined the team and was so impressed by the work being done in South Africa he suggested two MKGP members come to Australia to undertake some training. Celeste from St Hildas Junior and Savannah from Penrhos College joined the discussion. A very exciting opportunity.
