STEM Workshops
Bringing STEM to the classroom. At Immersive Education we have found that secondary school students generally indicate an interest in STEM related fields and subjects, but often fail to make the link to standalone subjects and career pathways. Our STEM workshops provide students with the opportunity to engage with a variety of topics within the STEM field and explore the specific career pathways associated with these. Let Immersive Education tailor a STEM workshop for your students needs, or view our pre-packaged STEM workshops below.
STEM: Aviation Workshops
This is an entry-level course that is designed for students who have a general interest in learning about aviation. Aviation encompasses a multitude of diverse disciplines, and this incursion will provide students with skills and knowledge that extend beyond the immediate and more obvious aspets that are required to pilot an aircraft. Students will be exposed to real-life applications of concepts covered within their standard Science and Mathematics classes. Student's will create aerofoils and use these to test and apply the principles of aerodynamics in order to better understand how objects can attain lift. This course is intended to give students appropriate grounding and insight into the skills necessary to undertake a career in aviation whilst enhancing their understanding and awareness of STEM in practice.

Careers Workshops
Getting the future right. During the Immersive Education Careers Workshops students are encouraged to look towards their future pathways in an applied fashion. They identify their skills and strengths, as well as areas to improve their workplace competency. They explore potential future careers and look for jobs relevant to their current age and experience levels. They are upskilled in the areas of resume and cover letter writing as well as being afforded the opportunity to participate in sessions relating to financial planning and investing. Students are guided through the process of understanding the options available to them in their future schooling, thus preparing their ability to make effective decisions relating to career pathways and subject selection.
Rock & Water Workshops
Increasing self-awareness, self-confidence and social functioning. Boys Rock & Water: Is an anti-violence program that targets the need to teach young males emotional regulation and effective decision-making strategies. It encourages adolescent boys to explore their sense of self and others through physical activities and challenges. The sessions provide strategies to ensure young men think through their responses before allowing an emotional impulse to result in physical and often regrettable action. The program also covers areas including but not limited to: self-esteem, confidence, body language and assertiveness. With young males often challenged by societal stereotypes to assert themselves physically, Rock and Water allows our students the opportunity to develop alternative – and much safer – options for de-escalating conflict. Girls Rock & Water: Is a program that teaches adolescent girls to apply a physical and social approach to assist in their development to adulthood. This is completed through increasing their self-realisation, self-confidence, self-respect, boundary awareness, self-awareness and intuition. Participants in the program learn to conduct themselves in situations that are associated with power, strength and powerlessness. Students learn to work with the different Rock and Water principles, to develop self-confidence and expand communication skills. Participants are taught through a variety of exercises and interactions to learn to experience their power and how to translate inner feelings into action, practice body strength and awareness by setting and defending boundaries and to become aware of attitudes, emotions and reaction patterns.

Be The Change Incursion
Choose your own path. Be The Change is a whole day workshop designed around the ‘Heroes Journey’, a theme which is commonly presented in most fictional storylines. The true power of this framework is that it can also be applied to ‘real life’ stories. By weaving together, the stories of everyday people and mixing them with the stories of established or fictional heroes as well as their own stories, students can begin to see that patterns emerge and that certain processes and ways of approaching challenges make it more likely for successful outcomes to occur.
Be The Hero Workshops
Live a life free of violence. Be The Hero is a is a violence prevention program designed for use in groups of young men. The program has a focus on looking at the prevalence of violence in today's society, and the ways we look at 'Activating the Bystander' to reduce this. Immersive Education are able to faciliate the Be The Hero Workshops as a whole or part-day program.
