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 XR Creators Program sees students exploring the cutting-edge technology of holographic and extended/virtual reality. Through hands-on projects and workshops, participants will learn about the different tools and techniques used in XR development, including ideation, wireframing and 3D modeling. They will also learn about user-centred design, storytelling, and how to create impactful XR experiences.
The program challenges students to work in teams to design and develop an XR experience that addresses a specific need or problem in their local community. This could include creating a virtual tour of a historical site, a holographic game to educate on a social issue, or a virtual reality experience to help with mental health support. Through this program, students will not only gain a valuable understanding of future XR technologies but also learn how to use XR technology to make a meaningful impact on their community.
