A pathfinder for this brilliant new telescope array is under construction in Western Australia. Rob Hollow will discuss the deep and fundamental understanding of the early universe which the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is expected to unveil. The SKA will allow us to see back to a time 300,00 years after the Big Bang, revealing the formation of the first stars and the first galaxies. He will also outline the technical demands of this new instrument, the education opportunities it will provide and the career paths open for Australian scientists and engineers.
