YEAR 6 JCU WORKSHOP

Four year 6 students were selected to participate in the ‘Building Resilient Coastal Communities’ program.

We invite you to read their recount of this enrichment opportunity. 

On Monday the 23rd of June, we were invited to go to James Cook University for an amazing opportunity. We were building resilient coastal communities in a digital workshop, using the same technology that world class engineers use for constructing and designing safe roads and communities. We also used industry standard, ‘Openroad's’ to model design aimed at protecting communities from floods and other weather disasters. We used ‘Lumenrt’ to redesign the Surfers Paradise Gold Coast. We then explored the JCU ideas lab and got to have a look at the projects that they have been working on.

In our opinion, the best part was redesigning Surfers Paradise to make it withstand natural disasters.
