With curriculum time getting busier and busier, a great way to inspire and empower students is before and after school with extracurricular programs for students. Our after school programs are fantastic at doing this and allow us to get students thinking big and focussing on cross-curricular, project-based learning as they tackle challenges, build skills and work on projects that get them thinking about the world around them and the exciting opportunities open to their generation.
With everything from designing future cities to launching influencer brands, building businesses, working with technology and more, we have a range of standard programs to choose from, or we're able to customise a program to your school community. Our after school programs typically run for 6-8 weeks and cost $30 per student per week.
Maddie Panther
Head of Programs At BOP Industries
Hi I’m Maddie!
I’m the Head of Programs and a lead facilitator at BOP Industries with a background in Business, Media & Communications and Teaching. I've been with BOP Industries for over 3 years now and am passionate about empowering the next generation of young professionals to reach their full potential.
Straight out of high-school I completed a double degree in Business (Marketing Major) and Media & Communications. In mid 2022, I added Masters of Teaching (Primary) to my list of degrees! I am incredibly enthusiastic about mindset and personal growth, so I enjoy connecting with students and having thought-provoking conversations about their interests and future aspirations.
Some of my biggest highlights since working in the role would have to be designing the brand assets for our Next Gen Awards and the Future of Education Summit. I have a passion for design and love developing impactful brands.
In 2023, I began honing my keynote speaking abilities and got the chance to travel to FNQ to deliver a three-day speaking tour on empowering young changemakers to over 1000 students in the Cairns region. Since then, I've had the pleasure of continuing to keynote speak at a variety of conferences and education-related events.
I am a passionate communicator and love to share my own story of becoming a young changemaker and navigating challenges. I also love to speak on the topics of the Future of Work, Intergenerational Shifts and how to step outside your comfort zone. If any of these topics are of interest to you, I'd love chat more!
