Brains, Boots & Beyond
Step into a world where science, sport and technology collide.
Join us for a groundbreaking National Science Week event bringing the science of the brain to life through immersive VR and Western Clydesdales rugby league players.
The Brains behind the Project
Brains, Boots & Beyond: Exploring Sports Psychology in VR connects community passion for sport with the excitement of science through an innovative, inclusive, and transportable VR installation.
The project is managed by Concinnity, with consultation from the staff and players at Western Clydesdales, academics and industry partners from the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ).
Together, these partners bring expertise in science communication, community engagement, sport, and education to deliver a unique National Science Week experience.
