Do you have a strong passion for solving problems and coming up with new ideas? Do you like to think outside the box and be creative? Do you want to challenge yourself?

The Swinburne Innovation in Action school holiday program is a 1-day program based at our Hawthorn campus where Year 10 - 12 students are given the knowledge and tools they need to come up with brilliant new ideas to solve real-world problems.

In this free program, you will:

  • Visit the Hawthorn Campus of Swinburne University of Technology and identify a problem you’d like to solve, framed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals

  • Work together with your peers to build a prototype solution for your chosen problem

  • Level up your learning through hands-on, interactive workshops that focus on teamwork, design thinking, problem solving and communication

  • Have fun!

Come by yourself, OR bring your mates! We need everyone to sign up individually, so just share the link below with anyone you’d like to bring along.
