Sandbox Junior is our UQ Idea Hub Discovery program for year 7 to 9 students over the school holidays. In this interactive workshop we walk the students through the process of customer discovery, problem identification, solutions design and storytelling. This workshop is designed for students curious about entrepreneurship and the world biggest issues, as it provides a concrete set of tools to understand and unpack big problems and come up with tangible solution. This workshop is alinged with the QCAA new curriculums and supports the aquisition of the 21st century skills, such as problem solving, critical thinknig and communication skills.  The workshop will wrap up at 2pm, but for the participants that need to stay longer until pick up time, we have planned other fun,engaging activities up to 4 pm.
