Description
How will drones, driverless vehicles, and AI shape the future of how we move people and goods?
In this cutting-edge Future Transport program, students investigate how emerging transport technologies are reshaping the world around us. Through interactive simulations and real-world challenges, students design and program autonomous vehicles, plan drone delivery routes, and experiment with AI-driven decision-making to improve safety and efficiency.
They’ll explore the forces acting on vehicles, analyse energy use, and apply systems thinking and design thinking to prototype smart transport solutions. Students are encouraged to consider environmental sustainability, ethical dilemmas, and the societal impacts of innovation. The program concludes with a pitch presentation, giving students the opportunity to showcase their transport concepts to an audience. This hands-on experience connects STEM learning with future-focused inquiry, preparing students to think critically and creatively about the future of mobility.
