NLC is a research-based program for children aged between 8 to 15 years old that uses their interest in gaming to meaningfully develop collaborative skills, confidence and friendships. NLC is proudly a neurodivergent-led organisation. Get into the Victorian Coding Challenge in 2023 DLTV is thrilled to announce that the Victorian Coding Challenge has been granted funding to extend for another 3 years! We're continuing to partner with the Mathematical Association of Victoria to make this happen. Registrations are currently open for 2023. This two-stage challenge is intended for students with a passion for coding. Watch the video above for more info, or visit the official page. STEM Professionals in Schools CSIRO's STEM Professionals in Schools has established an online initiative which aims to give teachers in regional and remote schools greater opportunity to access STEM professionals from a wide range of careers.
What’s involved in this initiative? The STEM Professionals in Schools team run three online webinars over an 8 week period to connect a STEM professional with a teacher. The webinars help the partnerships get started, plan, and evaluate online activities:

DLTV Case Studies - Implementing Digital TechnologiesDLTV has been collecting a growing set of school snapshots over 2020-2021. Each case study explores a school's story so far implementing the Digital Technologies curriculum.
We are grateful for the time and effort made by teachers and DigiTech leaders at the participating schools. Every school is at a different point on this journey. | Our new virtual modules Digital Technologies in your school are designed to help you and your school get oriented for delivering Digital Technologies, with an emphasis on pedagogy and challenges for delivery. The modules include informative and discussion videos, activities to complete, and opportunities for reflection. Those undertaking the modules can book to attend a live session to discuss the material with others. We didn't want to reinvent the wheel by providing a basic introduction to Digital Technologies curriculum, though we do provide links to recommended starting points. 5 of the 10 planned modules are now available, with others to be released progressively. This resource was made possible with support from the Victorian Department of Education and Training. |
