Wednesday, February 24 by Julie Brown

Teachers were treated to a special presentation by ABC TV personality Ruben Meerman, also known as the "The Surfing Scientist". Being an avid surfer, science communicator and all-round-nice-guy, Ruben captivated teachers at two teacher preview events held to launch the film Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D.
