Students are guided through the Road to Zero Experience Space at Melbourne Museum using a web-based app. They apply their understanding of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion and the Sustainable Development Goals to the important issue of road safety.
Students complete a range of hands-on experiences, respond to short answer questions, and can edit their responses after viewing high-level sample responses. Students receive the revision notes they create at Road to Zero via email.
Students will experience
- An interactive and immersive visit to the Road to Zero Experience Space, including: a virtual reality experience where students travel in a car from 1970 to 2055; an elevator simulation where students experience a dramatic ‘drop’ from the 11th floor of the Royal Exhibition Building; and a digital exploration of Transport Accident Commission’s well-known Graham sculpture.
- Self-directed study to support learning of VCE Health and Human Development Units 3 and 4.
