STEMworks is a partnership between Museums Victoria and the Victorian Catholic Education Authority. As part of this partnership, we have delivered student and teacher co-learning Design Sprints, STEM Professional Learning workshops and offered in-depth STEM learning support through our Partner School program.
Scienceworks invites Catholic school students and teachers to join us for a funded STEM workshop to tackle real world problems. Design Sprints are a day-long, fast-paced STEM design challenges for primary and secondary school students. Students and teachers will meet STEM and design experts, explore Scienceworks, delve into contemporary issues related to the curriculum and utilise their creativity to solve authentic problems.
Teachers are offered professional learning workshops before and after the onsite Design Sprint to dig deeper into STEM Design Thinking and how to make the most of the STEM Design Sprints for students.
Design Sprints offer a rich, cross-curricular experience.
Some of the many areas of the Victorian Curriculum addressed in a Design Sprint experience include:
Science
Design and Technologies
Critical and Creative Thinking
Social Awareness and Management
