We bring the Geelong Tech School to you with our custom-built trailer.
The Geelong Tech School trailer is able to be booked for a week at a time by partner schools.
Suitable for
Partner Schools
Duration
Book the trailer for a full week
The following programs are on offer as incursions:
Fast Cars
A multi-lesson program facilitated at Partner Schools, students will participate in making paper vehicles to race on a 20-metre track and analyse their results. This allows reflection on the influential forces on vehicles
Fast Physics
A multi-lesson program facilitated at Partner Schools where students explore the physics behind vehicle motion. Newton’s Laws are investigated by collecting data on the effect of change in mass on a 3D printed car racing down a 20-metre track. The program offers physics content delivery as well as modelling of a Scientific Method investigation
Drones
Students will learn how to code a drone to fly autonomously and navigate an obstacle course.
VR
Students will create 3D art using Google Tilt Brush and the Oculus Quests VR Headsets.
Teacher PD
With the trailer at your school for the week, we also have the ability to offer Teacher PD with your staff.
