Evolve 2024
Our second annual Evolve Week continued to connect our Year 8s to the Port community!
This design thinking sprint, which builds on the practical experience from Ignite Week, challenged our Year 8s to develop their own human centred problem. Throughout the week students collaborated with each other, problem-solved with mentors and gave back to the local community through Community Connection activities. This process allowed them to create and develop innovative solutions. Students pitched their solutions to our panel of judges with highlights including a self-watering vertical garden, a training system to support inclusive public transport use and a Port Talk podcast.
We greatly appreciate the feedback, advice and support that our mentors provided to our Year 8 students throughout Evolve. Thank you!
