With curriculum time getting busier and busier, a great way to inspire and empower students is before and after school with extracurricular programs for students. Our after school programs are fantastic at doing this and allow us to get students thinking big and focussing on cross-curricular, project-based learning as they tackle challenges, build skills and work on projects that get them thinking about the world around them and the exciting opportunities open to their generation.
With everything from designing future cities to launching influencer brands, building businesses, working with technology and more, we have a range of standard programs to choose from, or we're able to customise a program to your school community. Our after school programs typically run for 6-8 weeks and cost $30 per student per week.

Charlie’s innovative solution is called SolBot, which will use fully autonomous drones equipped with a specially designed cleaning system that eliminates dust and mould from solar panels. The cleaning system consists of a motorised soft bristle brush with a high-pressure water system ensuring a swift, secure and highly efficient cleaning process for panels that were previously inaccessible through conventional means. This adaptability of the system extends beyond solar panels, as it can be customised to clean other surfaces such as windows, roofs and high-rise buildings. This initial focus is driven by the greater prevalence of hard-to-reach panels at these locations. Subsequently, Solbot intends to expand its services to the residential sector. By addressing this critical need, SolBot aims to enhance the overall effectiveness of solar energy systems and thus impact the environment.
