Experience @ Tech Schools
The state government has decided to fund the development of a Tech school in Wangaratta for the said town and surrounding areas. Rutherglen High School were excited about this news as this can bring in technologies that are state-of-the-art for the students to use and learn from. As the Wangaratta Tech School is still in its planning stage and can’t take full classes, they want ambassadors from their partner schools to go through different learning experiences to evaluate how effective and fun they are. Rutherglen High School has five ambassadors that were invited to travel to Whittlesea Tech School to review their facility to help improve what the Wangaratta school could provide. On the 19th of September our own ambassadors were able to join seven other schools and participated in Tech Taster Day at Whittlesea Tech School in Epping. The day consisted of creative activities that warmed up the brains of our young ones while helping them improve their teamwork skills. Later on, students participated in coding a robotic arm and design work in Illustrator creating a keychain for themselves.
