Ipswich & West Moreton - Advancing Regional Innovation Program (ARIP)

The Teen Hackathon (12 - 17yrs) is a creative problem solving event to empower young minds to problem solving real world challenges impacting their local community.
The Hackathon is a fun way for teens to be social while problem solving issues that are important to them. Issues such as:
•     Want a faster way to get home to avoid walk long distances – they can find a solution
•     Want an easier way to do chores for more spare time – Yep they can think of a  winning idea or tool
•     Want an easier way to write out lines at school – they can create a versatile tool that gets it done faster, then sell it to other kids!
•    Sick of being bored on school holidays? They can come up with programs that will interest them 
They just need a reason to change something and the want to make it happen with the support and help of their peers and mentors.
Participating teens will also gain a TAFE Qld Statement of Participation outlining the skills developed so they can use it to gain RPLs later on or to add to their resume! 
COST: $10 per teen (12 - 17yrs) includes catering and beverages for the entire week (Saving you so much $$) 
WHEN: Monday 2 July 2018 – Friday 6 July 2018
TIME: 9.30 am – 2.30 pm
