The three-session program exploring virtual reality, game design, programming and more, is free for young people aged 12-18 in the Ballarat region. 

The STEM Maker Project is funded by the Australian Government.

Session 2: Computer-Aided 3D Architecture  
Use TinkerCAD© to design a sustainable house of the future and bring your idea to life with the physical building blocks of the Arckit© system.  

Session 3: STEM Solutions for Local Issues  
Explore real-world sustainability challenges in your community. Then, engineer and program your own tech-based solution using the Climate Action Kit© and Micro:BIT©.

The program will be run across various locations in Ballarat throughout early 2026.
