PROGRAMS
Victorian Challenge & Enrichment
Our VCES program offers a series of future-focused modules for government schools across the state.
What are Victorian Challenge and Enrichment
Modules?
Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series (VCES) are live-online workshops or webinars that support students in exploring STEM careers. They will enrich students’ understanding of how their current or future studies related to future jobs and local industries.
Each stand-alone session is designed to be fun, enriching, and utterly engaging.
We encourage teachers and students to identify modules that they would like to experience.
Superjobs
Superjobs enable Primary Students to explore future-focused skills that are connected to different jobs of the future. Each session will inspire students to engage with STEM-rich topics and enquire about subject and career pathways before entering secondary school. Many of the activities are designed for students to continue engagement beyond the online workshop.
Supersigma
We offer mathematics activities that sit outside of the school curriculum, giving students the opportunity to engage with challenging topics they would otherwise not encounter in the classroom. We focus on developing problem solving skills as students delve into rich investigations with an emphasis on explaining our results.
These are enrichment programs targeted at high-achieving students. There is no assumed knowledge and any required skills will be taught as part of the program. However, it is recommended that students are confident with simplifying fractions, multiplication tables, and common factors.
VCE
Co-designed with industry and featuring inspiring scientists or researchers our VCE webinars help high-ability students to understand how their interest and aptitude for STEM subjects translates to course selection and the world of work.
Superbio
SUITABLE FOR YEARS 9-12
In 2023, Superbio invited secondary school students in Victorian government schools to enrich and extend their understanding of how studies in biology apply and relate to Melbourne’s Biomedical industry sector.
Promoted by Monash Tech School and delivered by partners of the Convergence Science Network, Superbio was a series of online masterclasses with subject-matter experts that cover aspects of VCE Biology.
Superbio assembled Melbourne’s research organisations which are focused on regenerative medicine, cancer research, and genetic sequencing.
Superdigital
SUITABLE FOR YEARS 9-12
In 2023, Superdigital was delivered to secondary school students in government schools in Victoria who are interested in VCE Algorithmics and VCE Applied Computing.
The Superdigital webinars provided insights into how digital technology translates into real-world applications and featured inspiring researchers from across Monash University.
The series aimed to enrich students' understanding of how their current or future studies in computing relate to emerging and world-changing technologies and to increase awareness of the field's impact on society.
Hosted by Monash Tech School and delivered by Monash University.
