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
Our Product Design Masterclass will have a specific focus on working with students to get their product or service ready to sell. Over the course of the program, students will be prototyping and plan their product and service, identifying key costs and potential pricing models, and exploring the concept of a low cost minimum viable product (MVP) to get them started.
This program will focus on the following topics:
Prototyping & Planning:
Having a well thought out product or service is a big part of what can make a business successful. We’ll be working with students to prototype and design their product, or plan out their service in order to get it ready for customers.
Costs & Pricing:
Designing a great product or service is half the battle, with the other half in finding ways to keep your costs down, and profits up. After the prototyping and planning phase, we’ll then be working with students to figure out how much it will cost them to offer this product or service, before then looking at some pricing models they can use to ensure they’re making a healthy profit without pricing themselves out of the market.
Minimum Viable Product (MVP):
When first building a business, you want to get your product or service out to your customers as soon as possible. Whilst building a fully developed product can take time and money, we love to work with students to develop a minimum viable product (MVP). These are small scale products or services that cost less than $100 to develop. Whilst they may not have all the features, they are a great way to validate your idea, start generating revenue, and get feedback from your customers.
Age Group
This program has been designed for Primary and High School students and is recommended specifically for Grade 5-12 students.
Program Length
