A milkshake-making bicycle is being used to encourage teenagers in rural and indigenous communities to think about a career in science and technology. Students from the University of Wollongong's engineering and information sciences faculty hit the road on Tuesday, taking their hands-on demonstrations - including a bike that uses pedal power to make frothy shakes and a driver training racing simulator - to schools around the state in a bid to demonstrate what can be achieved with a degree in science or mathematics. Engineering student Matt Garlan (left), Dr Bob Wheway and environmental engineering student Zachary Noel-Strang will be part of the roadshow, which includes visits to schools in Wagga Wagga, Orange and Griffith.
