Please note there will be no workshops during the upcoming school holidays as we take a break to share and develop our skills to further benefit the program. We’re excited for this opportunity and look forward to returning to kick off our sold-out robotics workshop with the UWA team!
The Young Structural Engineers workshop held at Perth College was a fantastic opportunity for students to unleash their creativity. They explored structural design theory, focusing on the forces of compression, span, and tension. From the Bridge Build to the thrilling Egg Drop Challenge, students tackled the task of creating effective designs with limited materials, sharpening their critical and creative thinking skills and preparing them for real-world problem-solving. We were especially impressed by the weight capacity of the bridges, reflecting the outstanding design skills of each group.![]()

We had a fantastic day at our Young Doctors workshop at Perth College last week. Students explored human anatomy, measuring heart rates, crafting model lungs, and deeply investigating heart and lung structures to develop their anatomical knowledge. Collaboration with like-minded peers allowed them to challenge and inspire each other, promoting personal growth and confidence. ![]()

What a day at the "Young Detectives" workshop at Perth College! We had a blast with the fingerprinting and blood spatter analysis—let’s just say, things got a little messy, but the kids were absolute troopers! They also tested their skills by deducing age and height from hand x-rays and footprints, and exploring the differences between human and animal bones. A huge thank you to Christina and Charlotte from the Centre for Forensic Anthropology at the University of WA for their expert guidance and for helping make the day a success!
