  SUBMIT YOUR WORKSHOP PROPOSAL

  

  DATTA Vic are seeking workshop submissions for our 2024 teachers' conference, Movers & Makers.

  This event will celebrate how Design & Technologies education can equip young people with creative and critical thinking abilities, adeptness in communication and teamwork and essential skills in traditional methods and emerging technologies. This is the place where the problem solvers of the future are made.

  We're inviting submission for workshops which support all of our members, including primary, secondary and tertiary teachers of Design & Technologies, VCE Product Design & Technologies, VCE Systems Engineering and STEM.

  We hope to upskill our members in a range of contexts, including engineering principles and systems, food & fibre production and materials and technologies specialisations (wood, metal, plastics, textiles, CAD, electronics, coding and robotics, etc)

  We're want to support educators to update their pedagogies to take unique and engaging approaches to teaching the design process. And we encourage presentations that address Technologies in Society, and explore key concepts like sustainability, ethical design, technacy and First Nations knowledge.

  So please submit your workshop proposal at the link above, and be part of a very special day.  Presenting a session is not only a wonderful professional learning experience, but you also get to attend the rest of the event for free.

  IMPORTANT NOTES

  Please be as specific as possible about your requirements to deliver your workshop, so we can be sure it can be hosted within NCAT's facilities. 

  Note we require presenters to bring their own materials and hand-tools, and we can reimburse you for your costs after the event.

  CONFERENCE KEYNOTES

  We are delighted to be joined by not one, but three keynote presenters at this year’s conference! These award-winning young designers and engineers will be sharing their creative processes, discussing the VCE products that saw them take out the Eckersley’s 2024 Top Designs prizes, and offering advice on how to best support students to achieve success in Design & Technologies.
