In 2020, the Learning and Technologies Team is partnering with TFE Solutions to deliver an exciting opportunity for Year 7 – 10 students to experience and create solutions to real world STEM problems using Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, collectively known as Extended Reality (ER). Students will build their technology and critical thinking skills to problem solve, ideate, create, communicate and collaborate using a Design Thinking model. The challenge is open to classes from Years 7 – 10 and schools may register an expression of interest for up to 2 classes.

The STEM Extended Reality Challenge will consist of 3 days learning at the STEM Innovation Lab. Day 1 (25th February) will be solely for teachers participating in the project, and Days 2 & 3 will be for students and their class teachers. At school, classes are encouraged to utilise a Design Thinking process to research their STEM problem, ideate & prototype solutions, and refine & test solutions.
To complete an expression of interest for your school or for further informtion please visit the CESA Registration Centre. Expressions of Interest must be received from schools by Friday 7 February. Please note an EOI does not guarantee school involvement.
