  Take your robotics teaching to the next level with this practical and focused professional learning session, Coding with VEX Robotics. Designed specifically for educators working with any of the VEX platforms (including VEX V5, VEX EXP, and VEX IQ), this session is ideal for classroom teachers or those coaching competitive robotics teams.

  Participants will work hands-on with pre-built VEX V5 robots and explore a wide range of sensor-based coding applications using the VEXcode programming environment. From basic touch sensors to advanced AI vision systems, this workshop supports teachers to learn at their own point of need—whether you're just getting started or looking to sharpen your advanced coding skills.

  This session strictly focuses on coding (not robot construction) and is led by experienced VEX alumni in collaboration with staff from the Yarra Ranges Tech School.

  You'll leave with practical strategies, deeper confidence in sensor-based robotics coding, and resources you can immediately apply in your teaching or robotics coaching.

  Studying the Technologies equips students to design, create, use and evaluate innovative solutions that meet current and future needs using a range of technologies.

  CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software is crucial in design and engineering, enabling the creation of 2D and 3D models, facilitating design visualisation and evaluation while streamlining the design process. 

  Fusion 360 is a cloud-based, 3D CAD and CAM software developed by Autodesk, used for modelling, simulation, and documentation, particularly for product design and manufacturing. The education plan gives eligible students and teachers free access to Autodesk software for educational purposes. 

  
  

  In this full day hands-on workshop, Yarra Ranges Tech School Director Travis Burroughs will take you through all you need to get started and then advance beyond beginners' level in your classroom teaching.

  You'll explore the use of the software for designing, and exporting these files to be produced by a laser cutter or 3D printer. You'll learn about real world examples of classroom projects created with Fusion 360, and will go back to school with more confidence to get your students using this technology.

  This professional development day is designed specifically to spark curiosity and equip teachers with essential AI skills and understanding to implement into their own classes. Open to all Design and Technologies teachers at any experience level!

  Participants will explore AI in Planning, AI Art, AI in technology and coding, and Understanding AI. This will cover; how teachers can use AI in their planning to be more efficient, skills in AI Art creation using software design tips and implementation in classes, how AI can be used in coding with technology and a deeper level understanding of the backend of AI through hands-on exploration of memory processes and practical techniques.

  The workshop will bridge the gap between theory and application and develop skills in creating interactive projects that demonstrate the principles of predictive analytics and model practical understanding of AI concepts without the need for extensive coding knowledge. The program culminates in the application of AI to hands-on projects, where participants integrate AI with physical computing devices and tools that assist in code generation, equipping them with the skills to navigate the dynamic landscape of artificial intelligence and its real-world applications.

  DATTA Vic is delighted to once again delighted to deliver our Success with Systems Engineering Masterclass program during the September school break.

  Systems Engineering offers a great way to deliver STEM learning opportunities that equip young people with the skills they'll need for a global, technology-driven and flexible future.

  However, Victorian schools are facing barriers to successful delivery, including dropping numbers of student enrolments at VCE and a lack of qualified teachers in the Design & Technologies learning area.

  Our Success with Systems Engineering program has four aims:

  • To upskill teachers from other STEM areas (Design & Technologies, Physics, etc) to deliver engaging and relevant Systems Engineering programs

  • To support schools who are struggling to recruit Systems Engineering teachers
    

  • To explore ways to attract and retain a more diverse cohort of students in Systems Engineering
  • To offer support to schools to set up VCE Systems Engineering as a senior subject

  We'll also be taking a look at the new 2026 study design, to ensure our participants are ready to implement it for next year.

  Registrations are open now to participate in this teacher masterclass, which will run in the term break from 22-25 September

  Numbers are strictly limited, so register early to ensure your place.

  Morning tea and lunch each day are served, and all resources are provided.

  Feedback from participants of our previous Success with Systems workshops:

  • The masterclass covered all the requirements to be able to know how to begin teaching VCE Systems.
  • A Lot of practical demonstrations and hands-on activities to develop skills for teaching
  • Practical demos tuning us into having a go! The challenges throughout were pitched at the right fundamental level.
  • Great strategies for how to teach complicated topics
  • Was amazing! I learned so much about course content in regards to VCE and I enjoyed learning the components of systems and coding.
  • Very well presented and totally engaging
