Walking Amongst Giants

Walking Amongst Giants

  Primary | Space | Views: 14

Join STEM Ambassador Caroline from Stellar Solutions Aerospace Ltd celebrating Space.

Roald Dahl’s BFG might be considered a giant, but even he pales in comparison to Argentinosaurus — the largest dinosaur ever to walk the Earth. That is, until a giant object from outer space collided with our planet, bringing an end to the age of the dinosaurs.

When we talk about giants, nothing compares to the vastness of space itself. Even our planetary neighbours — Jupiter and Saturn — are colossal compared to Earth. But how do we know about dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago? And how did scientists discover that it rains diamonds on Jupiter?

Thanks to the power of STEM, we can explore and understand these incredible mysteries. Join Caroline as she takes you on an exciting journey across space and time, sharing how she’s used STEM throughout her amazing career — as a palaeontologist, archaeologist, uncrewed underwater vehicle pilot (think Boaty McBoatface!), and space terranaut!
