With curriculum time getting busier and busier, a great way to inspire and empower students is before and after school with extracurricular programs for students. Our after school programs are fantastic at doing this and allow us to get students thinking big and focussing on cross-curricular, project-based learning as they tackle challenges, build skills and work on projects that get them thinking about the world around them and the exciting opportunities open to their generation.
With everything from designing future cities to launching influencer brands, building businesses, working with technology and more, we have a range of standard programs to choose from, or we're able to customise a program to your school community. Our after school programs typically run for 6-8 weeks and cost $30 per student per week.

Felix’s innovative solution revolves around revolutionising remote sheep monitoring. With a vision for more effective and practical methods, he developed a cutting-edge semi-supervised machine learning project plan. This model assimilates diverse input data, including cloud maps, soil quality, and infrared sheep emissions, to predict future outcomes with remarkable accuracy and precision.
Felix’s ingenuity lies in his clever manipulation of modern technologies like LiDAR, thermography, and soil maps. These elements were artfully woven together into a Machine Learning project plan featuring ReLU and Softmax Activation functions, Bayesian Optimization, Random Forest, and Cross-entropy loss. He meticulously fine-tuned neural network considerations, including hyperparameters, to optimise performance.
The model's training grounds were the rich data reserves of the New Zealand Soil Information System, further refined through the use of handheld field spectrometers. Felix’s solution represents a significant leap forward in the realm of remote sheep monitoring, promising more efficient and data-driven management practices for the future.
