DIGITAL LEADERS
The Digital Leaders Project trains, connects and supports teams of year 5 and 6 students who have an interest in technologies and how they assist with learning. The project enables the school-based team to work together to support the school’s IT teacher/technician in basic troubleshooting for staff and students with learning technologies, audiovisual equipment and connectivity issues. The project provides students with the opportunity to gain industry certification in IT support.
ABOUT THE GENIUS PROJECTS PROGRAM
The 21st Century provides us with the ability to broaden our definition of ‘genius’ to recognise genius in all different types of intelligences. The area of STEM provides avenues for learning new tools and processes to give creativity a new voice. Students, through the support of their teachers and parents, can discover new talents in themselves which they should cultivate so that they may grow into their own genius.
Galileo is quoted as saying, “Passion is the genesis of genius”. This program aims to ignite passion projects to provide schools with the tools and processes to unlock genius in their students, teachers and community.
