INNOVATION & CREATIVITY
We live in an age of exponential progress, and its effects can already be seen all around us. From genetically modified food to voice activated personal assistants, we're at the beginning of a new technological revolution that will define the 21st century.
Artificial intelligence, globalisation and blockchain often capture the headlines, but the pace of innovation will have effects closer to home for today's students. The ‘job for life’ careers are disappearing, while every job will require greater creativity, collaboration, agility and risk taking than before. 1
In a world where change is the only constant, students need to be literate in the language of innovation and creativity, understand their core principles and learn how to apply them in their own lives.
This course is heavily activity based, as students work together to creatively solve a problem in which they practise the skills of innovation including communication, collaboration, creativity and resilience. They’ll leave feeling informed about the innovation process, and inspired to create meaningful change.
Our experienced facilitators have worked in the Innovation sector and speak from their own experience, including designing apps for Google Glasses and world-first product launches.
How does it work?
- IRL Seminars are designed for whole year groups at once, but can be customised to suit your needs.
- We combine stories, individual and small group activities to ensure students stay engaged and learn the content of the seminar through doing as much as hearing and seeing.
- We work with you to understand the specific challenges your students are facing and adapt our courses to address them.
- All seminars have been designed to align with key learning areas set by the Department of Education. Read more about it here.
