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.

About The Program
The Your Digital Universe program has been designed to help students develop their understanding of our digital world and how we all use technology to connect, collaborate, and communicate.
This program commences with an introduction into the different types of technology shaping the world around us. With some quick quizzes and case studies, students will be exploring their universe as digital natives, before then looking at how technology has evolved over the past 50 years, and how it is set to develop over the next 50 years.
From there, we will be diving into some hands-on games for students to get them competing in a 'guess the password' competition that will see them testing their abilities to identify the password of a user just by looking at their public social media profile.
From there we will be diving into a spot the scam activity that will see students challenged to work in groups as they analyse sample screenshots from the various digital tools they use daily to see how they can spot a scam early, and develop a practical plan of attack to avoid harm and stay safe online.
To finish, we will be looking at how much time we as a society spend online and how that can easily slip into digital addiction. We'll be debating ethical issues associated with technology, and asking the question 'just because we can, does it mean we should' when it comes to emerging technologies in our society.
This is an action-packed session full of hands-on challenges, interactive games, and pondering problems for students to consider as they explore the role of technology in our society and how they can stay safe online.
