School Incursion Programs

The following programs are on offer as incursions:

  • 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
  • Drone Dash
    Students will learn how to code a drone to fly autonomously and navigate an obstacle course.
  • Virtual Reality
    Students will create 3D art using Google Tilt Brush and the Oculus Quest VR Headsets.
