In Take Flight, students will have an opportunity to get hands-on with an emerging technology and think about the applications of maths beyond the numbers. Students will be challenged to code and fly their own drones. Practicing skills in block coding and geometry, students will work in teams to direct drones through a series of shapes and patterns. Along the way, students will learn about the applications of drones in industries such as agriculture, research, logistics and emergency response.

In NOT NATURAL/SCI-FI Tour, Learning Experience Facilitators will introduce students to the key concepts and ideas, facilitate group discussions and activities, and prompt students to think critically about the works. Students will have the opportunity to independently explore the exhibition with a scavenger hunt quiz containing thought-provoking questions and reflective activities before sharing their experience with the group.

Identify and connect the key themes and concepts explored in the exhibition through the facilitator-led tour of the transdisciplinary works.
Participate in facilitator-led group activities and discussions that prompt critical thinking and provoke curiosity.
Learn how to code a drone and utilise geometry and measurement to complete flying patterns through a series of activities of increasing complexity.
Work as a team to determine the best route to complete an obstacle course, and code a drone to do so.
Explore the applications of drones across agriculture, health, engineering, entertainment and more.
Informally engage with university students – who make up our facilitator team - and learn about diverse post-school pathways.
