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.

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.

This course is always a student favourite. We inspire them with new technology that will get them thinking about their future careers, challenge them with fun activities that hide deep lessons in the meaning of innovation, show them (from our facilitator’s personal experience) how innovation is actually practiced in the real world, and keep them engaged by forcing them to think creatively.
