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 Designed Spaces Program has been created to give students the opportunity to use design thinking and user-centered design frameworks in order to design a space of the future on their school campus or in their local community.
With a focus on technology, innovation, and sustainability, the Designed Spaces Program will see students developing their design thinking skills as they explore how the spaces we use to live, work, and learn will change over the next 30 years. During this program, students will be tasked with a specific challenge centered around designing an innovative new space for their school, or to redesign an existing space around the community that could use a refresh.
Throughout the program, students will participate in masterclasses to explore how they can design sustainable, connected, and innovative spaces of the future before they then work to refine their ideas and prepare to pitch their idea at the conclusion of the program.
Age Group
This program can be adapted to suit Primary and High School audiences. It is recommended for Grade 3-10 students.
