Excursions are transformational experiences for secondary students from Years 7–12, created with and delivered by young people.
Our Learning Facilitator Team is made up of emerging STEAM professionals –university students and recent graduates – who are trained to co-create and deliver high quality learning experiences in a peer-to-peer model, providing school students with diverse role models and information about potential career pathways. These exhibition tour and hands-on STEAM workshops aim to immerse school students in future-focused exhibition themes, scientific research and emerging technologies, provoke critical thinking, and foster an inclusive and participatory space for curiosity, connection and creativity.
