Research and invention with Deakin and Girls Invent 2017

RESEARCH & INVENTION WITH DEAKIN & GIRLS INVENT!

The Year 9 program has an emphasis on promoting research skills for deeper learning, investigation, critical thinking and analysis.  Students undertake a significant individual project with the support of College mentors and Deakin University staff, or participate in the Girls Invent Program. The aim is to develop critical skills and confidence and to inspire students to pursue higher learning, to innovate and to create inventions or products.
