Academic Supports

Academic Teaching staff can provide experiential learning opportunities to their students through the Agility Innovation Zone. Class visits are designed to introduce students to the possibilities of the Innovation Zone in building a transferable skill set that will prepare them for the future. 

 

Class visits are generally offered Monday through Friday between 9 am and 4 pm. The following categories describe the types of programming offered, and all can be individually tailored to support the skills and mindset you want to enhance in your students.

 

INSPIRE: Tour of the Innovation Zone 

  • introducing students to the equipment and sample projects that have been made, and sparking curiosity about what they can do and learn in the space

 

PREPARE: Group Orientation 

  • Innovation Zone tour plus detailed information about the equipment training process, including walking the group through the introductory Zone Orientation course on Moodle

 

ENGAGE: Class Workshops

  • Design Thinking and Rapid Prototyping workshops will get your students innovating creative solutions to real-world problems using simple prototyping materials while considering the principles of Human-Centred Design.

  • Innovation and Technology workshops are designed to introduce students to emerging technology which supports the concepts covered in class work.

  • Entrepreneurial Development workshops provide a starting point for students to build confidence in sharing their skills and ideas, as they consider where the future may take them after completing their studies.

 

If you don't see what you are looking for, we can work with you to design a custom workshop.
