Goodna State School in Brisbane wanted to ensure its students had access to the technology and STEM learning activities that would set them up for their future studies and careers.
Their project enabled them to purchase a range of equipment including robotics kits, iPads and laptops and invested time in professional development so teachers were confident to introduce digital technologies in the classroom.
The results were encouraging, with the percentage of students pass technology assessments increasing from 24% to over 80% after one year.
