PROGRAMS
Core
Programs
Our on-site Core Programs use innovative and high-tech equipment and are delivered in a purpose built facility at Monash University, which features a fully functional maker space and laboratory.
What are Core Programs?
Students are introduced to the latest technology and industry research through hands-on exercises. As one of ten government-funded Technology Schools in Victoria, and with facilities located on the Monash University Clayton campus, our on-site offerings are developed and refined with local future industries in mind.
Please note that our Core Programs are only open to partner schools and their students.
Supercyber
CRYPTOGRAPHY, CRITICAL THINKING, AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
The Supercyber program introduces students to the concepts and principles of cyber security. Students will learn how to think, not what to think though a series of ‘unplugged’ activities. Students will work together to debate cyber security tradeoffs and consider risks faced by individuals, modern organisations, and critical infrastructure.
Superspace
ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY INSTRUMENTS AND EXOSKELETON ROBOTICS
The Superspace program introduces students to STEM concepts and the skills required to journey across our galaxy. Students will use design thinking and creativity to design spacesuits tailored to a specific space brief. Students will engage in prototyping and problem solving processes that allow them to combine science, engineering and mathematics in a hands-on manner.
Superproducts
ADVANCED MANUFACTURING, PRODUCT DESIGN AND ROBOTICS
Superproducts sees students explore automated manufacturing and sustainable product design. The program prioritises hands-on experience, collaborative coding exercises, and mobile robotics. Students explore how technologies can be integrated to create manufacturing solutions and how to integrate sustainable product design principles into their own prototypes.
Superimagery
IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES, 3D SCANNING AND DRONES
Superimagery is a problem-solving program that has students working collaboratively to respond to industry-informed challenges. By using various technologies that capture the world in ways that aren’t possible with the naked eye they are exposed to how imaging technology is currently being used in industry, and how emerging technology may be used in future careers.
Supercities
MATERIALS SCIENCE, ROBOTICS AND AUGMENTED REALITY
The Supercities program engages students in strategic urban planning. Major city-shaping projects are underway that will impact the Monash Precinct. Students will learn to design with a new range of technologies informing how a connected, liveable and greener city might emerge from real-world challenges like urban growth and pandemics.
Superfoods
SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY, 3D PRINTING AND LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
The Superfoods program focuses on food science and technology to solve real-world problems like food shortages and the climate crisis. Students will learn about food substances that can be harnessed using synthetic biology techniques and design thinking. Students will leave with a better understanding of how we could innovate food from lab to plate to benefit the planet.
Superpets
ADVANCE MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN THINKING
The Superpets programs offers students an understanding of the unique solutions involving bionics, wearables and implants for our pets. Students will develop solutions with semi-functional prototypes using the design thinking process. This will encourage students to research and empathise with the animal's needs as well as the owner's.
Superhumans
MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ADVANCE MANUFACTURING
Superhumans provides Year 7 students with a solid grounding in key concepts relating to materials science and engineering. The program tasks students with designing implants, wearables, smart clothing, and bionic devices as solutions for medical scenarios.
Superhealth
DESIGN SOLUTIONS
FOR THE HEALTH SCIENCES
The Superhealth program is a hands-on and innovative program in which Year 9 students are introduced to a number of health sciences. Students learn about the differing medical needs in areas around Victoria, and design hospitals of the future to handle these pressing medical needs.
Superpowers
NEW ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Superpowers offers Year 8 students an in-depth and interdisciplinary understanding of new energy, asking students to design solutions to problems that incorporate new energy systems. The program includes a tour of Monash University in Clayton, demonstrating to students how new energy solutions are practically used in the real world.
