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.
