Endeavour Adventure

Designed to entice and expose secondary school students to the vast applications of engineering, the program will provide a fantastic interactive excursion opportunity. The visit to Endeavour2005 will include an organised tour of the exhibition as well as the brand new University of Melbourne project laboratories. The program will include hands-on activities and competitions, encouraging students to ask questions and talk to the project creators. This year we aim to expand the Adventure program to promote the benefits of studying electrical engineering to regional schools.
