Last week we attended Careers Day Out in Shepparton alongside Banyule Nillumbik Tech School . The day provided over 2,000 secondary students from Greater Shepparton and the surrounding areas the opportunity to explore future careers and pathways in a variety of sectors.

It was fantastic to connect with young people, industry representatives, training providers, and local organisations all in one space. Events like this help students discover new possibilities, ask questions, and start thinking about where their interests and strengths could take them.

We’re proud to support students as they explore careers, build confidence, and imagine their futures beyond school.

Our Tech School was buzzing with excitement last week as Year 7 Science students from Lalor North Secondary College explored how biomimicry can inspire vehicle design. 🚗🐟🦅✈️

Using nature as their guide, students brought ideas to life through creative cardboard prototyping - testing, building, and iterating along the way.

Check out some of their amazing designs!

This week at Whittlesea Tech School, local students participated in a collage art workshop with Melbourne artist Tai Snaith. Students learnt new skills in collage art-making and benefited from Tai’s insights into the career journey of a professional practicing artist.

The artworks created by students on the day explored the themes of identity, memory and place, and will be displayed as the opening exhibition of a new local outdoor gallery near Gallada Community Centre.

Thanks to the City of Whittlesea for organising such a fantastic event.

This week, our Remote & Virtual representative, Elissa, visited Hume Central College to help test out their brand new Sphero Bolts!

Students, many of whom had never tried coding before, dove right in, driving the Spheros around, tracing out paths on tablets, and experimenting with block-coding to navigate an obstacle course. It was great to see their curiosity and openness to trying out new technology.

We look forward to seeing all of Hume Tech School's amazing new programs in full swing once their building officially opens later this year.

At the end of Term 1, we ran Day 2 of the Whittlesea Tech Fellowship and it was all about exploring digital tools for creating art 🎨✨

Artist Josh Kernich shared his work and spoke about the beauty of impermanence in performance art. He also demystified the inner workings of his MIDI-controlled AV rig, before handing it over to students to jump in and experiment themselves.

Students rotated through five hands-on workshops, each introducing different technology for digital art creation.

The day wrapped up with a rapid-fire ideation session for the passion projects that students will spend the remainder of the year working on. We can’t wait to see what fantastic works they come up with!

At the end of Term 1, we had the wonderful Pat McMahon run a professional development session for teachers where they built their own ReCycloBots.

Pat is a highly experienced teacher of technology and committed to creating projects that engage both students and teachers. For more information on the ReCycloBot and more of Pat's FREE project ideas, visit patsrobots.com (The ReCycloBot is project A076).
