ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
It’s Rocket Science Adventures emphasis’ that science can be better understood through its practice, and offer school age students across Queensland the rare opportunity to explore the science behind rockets, flight and space. Our fully interactive project based workshops are Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) focused, and directly aligned with the Australian Curriculum (ACARA). The workshops are of a duration of 90 minutes, with some additional time required to set up and pack up equipment. A water or toilet break may be appropriate prior to field launches. Workshops commence in a multipurpose room or undercover area. Participants are going to construct a simple bottle rocket from recycled items, which can be filled with water and compressed air and launched into the air under the guidance of the facilitator. During this time participants can explore large scaled model rockets and Chinese fire arrows constructed of Styrofoam, and introduced to rocket science concepts ie action and reaction forces, stability, and propulsion. ALL participants will then complete safety procedures and be directed in the safe handling of equipment from the incursion facilitators prior to launching rockets.
Part Two involves the rocket launch field experiments. Participants conduct experiments not just observe a demonstration, to apply the scientific philosophy of predict, observe and evaluate in the performance of their individual rocket. Participants will test their rockets to see who can launch it the highest (outdoors) or achieve the greatest distance (both indoors and outdoors) by aiming at various ‘planets’. The outdoor rocket launches require access to a water hose or tap to fill bottles and an outdoor open space (ie open park or school oval size). Safe position of activity is considered in relation to buildings, vehicles, other activities or personnel. Sunsafe strategies by instructing all participants to wear hats will be implemented. If weather or environmental conditions are assessed as unsafe, indoor rocket launches will require access to indoor or under cover area with high ceilings approximately 15 x 5 metres (ie basketball court size area). The recycled plastic soda bottles will be filled with a percentage of pressurised air and water throughout the outdoor workshop. Each launch team (maximum of five per session) with be supervised by a responsible adult such as incursion facilitator to manage the activity safely. Provisions for individuals with medical, behavioural or learning needs who require special considerations will be assessed by the facilitator prior to the incursion taking place to secure the additional supervising adults that may be required. The activity host authorised representative has overall responsibility for the activity. All care is taken, however we do not take responsibility and will not accept liability for injuries caused by misuse of our equipment. Equipment is suitable for the activity, properly maintained and will be appropriately used. It’s Rocket Science Adventures facilitators have the knowledge and skills to plan, induct, instruct and manage the activity safely for all participants. The facilitators are qualified in the fields of aviation, aeronautics, science and communications. Blue card compliance and certificate of currency will be provided. First aid and emergency medical treatment provisions will be made available by the event host if required.

• It’s Rocket Science Adventures have conducted significant research into the rupture pressure levels of plastic soda bottles.
• These pressures range from 120psi up to 180psi.
• Launching apparatus supplied by It’s Rocket Science have built in pressure relief valves set to 80psi.
• At events with a limited or small open space, rocket launches will have pressure relief valves reduced to 30psi.
• During It’s Rocket Science rupture research the most significant outcome noted was participants became wet. The PET plastic soda bottles do not splinter.
• Construction of bottle rockets at ALL events will be made with fizzy drink bottles as these are pressure rated.
• Construction will NOT be from fizzy bottles with faded labels, as this may indicate sun damage and the bottles are likely to rupture at a lower pressure.

Delivery of program Cyber security - ensuring that students are not accessing inappropriate websites
Child Safety Junior Engineers delivers programs with a 1:9 instructor to student ratio meaning that all children will be thoroughly supervised. In the event they visit a website that they shouldn't, instructors have been trained to identify this, ensure that the website is closed and that the student returns to the coding platform. Additionally, many of the programs are being delivered at school, using their hardware. School firewalls are in place to ensure that the risk of accessing inappropriate sites are mitigated. Lastly, all of Junior Engineers' laptops have website safeguards and firewalls built into them as well.

Delivery of program Student data housing Student personal information shared online

Delivery of Program Student safety Physical Injury 1. All Junior Engineers instructors are either qualified and registered teachers or hold current blue cards, meaning that every instructor has been approved to work with children as part of a recent police check. 2. Junior Engineers delivers 75 classes a week to school children and have stringent child safety policies in place e.g. no instructor is ever to be alone with a student, no instructor ever uses the same bathrooms as students etc. 3. All instructors undergo regular professional development where Duty of Care obligations are constantly reinforced 4. Junior Engineers has a first aid escalation process and all instructors are trained in following this process, should the need for first aid arise

LEAP INTO STEM PROGRAM RISK ASSESSMENT
Activity Provider Name: CQ University
Activity Name: Creating and Extending Realities (CREATE XR) with Oculus Go & Oculus Quest
Name of Person completing this risk assessment: A/Prof. Michael A. Cowling (CQ University Brisbane)
Date of Assessment: 29th July 2019 (for 13th/14th August Event)
RISK CALCULATOR How do you assess the Risk? For each hazard, answer A, then answer B. A + B = The Risk and the action required:
PART A What is the potential impact or consequence?
PART B How likely is it?
PART A + PART B =
Risk Action
1 = Minor. First Aid is required. Little or no lost time.
1 = Low. It may happen, but only rarely.
Score of 1-2 = Low Risk Proceed with caution.
2 = Moderate. Medical Treatment required. Reversible damage to health.
2 = Moderate. It could happen occasionally.
Score of 3-4 = Moderate Risk Regularly monitor the situation.
3 = Serious. Medical treatment required. Irreversible damage including death.
3 = High. It could happen frequently. Score of 5-6 = High to Extreme Risk Do not proceed.
RISK ASSESSMENT
RISK ASSESSMENT RISK CONTROL PLAN STEP 1:
Spot the Hazards (Hazards are things, situations or arrangements that could potentially cause harm to
people, property or the environment)
STEP 2: Assess the Risk
STEP 3: Fix the Problem
Controls & Actions
STEP 4: Responsibility Who & When
STEP 5: Reassess the risk
What task are you doing? What are the risks associated with the task? Is the risk low, moderate, significant or high? (A + B = Risk)
If the task is potentially hazardous, what will you do to reduce or remove the risk?
By whom? And when? Now that you’ve put the strategies in place, assess the risk again.

1. Headsets – drop hazard 2. Supporting equipment – trip / bump
hazard 3. Disorientation/nausea as a result of
adverse reaction to VR software. Worst case, 1 in 4000 chance of an Epileptic seizure.

1. Educate participants on handling of headsets.
2. Thoughtful placement of supporting hardware
3. Limit general public exposure times to very short sessions and monitor interaction (especially younger people)

T01 RPAS Flying in close proximity to objects (trees, poles and powerlines) and buildings
Collision with objects/buildings resulting in loss of RPA
1. General disposition of flying training area from the nearest obstacles (distance) provides sufficient distance to stop2. Mavics are GPS enabled and can easily/quickly be stopped3. Mavics in ATTI mode have geo-fenced area set to about 40m where they will automatically return to a GPS (Sports) mode
