At the heart of these programs lies a dynamic challenge, presented by local industries, designed to ignite students’ passion for utilizing STEM skills, design thinking, and cutting-edge technology to craft innovative solutions. Our commitment to empowering educators is evident through robust professional development opportunities and a comprehensive suite of resources, including direct access to Tech School facilitators who bring expertise and guidance to the learning journey.
Tech Tasters offer a captivating one-day glimpse into applied learning, with a sharp focus on technology. Harnessing the power of design thinking, participants dive into a hands-on experience, collaborating on a carefully crafted ‘brief’ to bring forth a tangible outcome—an innovative prototype—all within the dynamic setting of the Tech School.
An immersive four-day “Design Thinking” experience awaits participants. This comprehensive program will guide students through an exploration of diverse technology solutions, coupled with insightful industry visits. As they navigate the intricacies of the design process, students will tackle real-world challenges intricately tied to the industry. The culmination of their efforts will be showcased through compelling presentations, showcasing the tangible outcomes achieved during the program.
We have adapted a series of Tech Tasters to accommodate the learning requirements of some of our partner Tech Schools. The Inclusion Programs are shorter in length and also designed for smaller class sizes. We can adapt the program to suit your students.
We bring the Geelong Tech School to you with our custom-built trailer. The trailer is able to be booked for a week at a time by partner schools. Not only do we deliver programs to students, but we can run Professional Development for teaching staff as well.
