Road Smart Interactive is an evidence based, highly interactive road safety education program that is free for students in Years 9, 10 and 11 and those undertaking the VCE Vocational Major across all Victorian secondary schools.
Road Smart Interactive is an immersive, evidence-based road safety education incursion for Victorian secondary students.
Using the latest technology, it engages students to explore road safety and how they can play a part in reducing road trauma.
Adapted from Road to Zero at Melbourne Museum, it promotes meaningful discussions about road safety with students, staff, and the broader school community, helping build a safer, healthier school environment.
Students will experience
- Exploring how the human body would need to adapt to survive different speeds
- Adding features to road environments to make them safe for all road users
- Taking a virtual reality road trip to uncover how Victoria is working towards zero deaths on our roads
- Competing with their peers in a quiz about road user behaviour
- Designing a safe car and performing a virtual crash test
- Exploring road safety around the world using an interactive map
Students will learn
- About how zero road deaths and serious injuries in Victoria can be achieved
- How they can play a part in keeping themselves and others safe on and around roads
- What actions they, with their teachers and school leaders, can take to improve safety for their school community
Other key information
- The program is fully self-contained and facilitated by skilled road safety educators. Our Road Smart Interactive team bring in a van containing the digital experiences and set up in schools for up to 5 days. All schools need to do is provide a space for the experiences to be set up.
