Our Year 10s recently explored the STEAM+ challenge in a one-week program.

They used Science, Technology Engineering, Art, Mathematics and more to develop a solution to a big problem in our world. A design thinking framework was used, to guide students through a collaborative process to find a new solution or innovation to a problem in our world.

At the end of the week they presented their findings to Year 7s.
