Kids teaching kids
The Hub aims to help make Noosa a hotbed of home-grown technology and engineering talent in the
years ahead through its skills development and mentoring programs. Having a vibrant holiday program is
a key part of that plan.


George Gleeson and Bryn Mailer, both 15 year old students at Good Shepherd Lutheran College, used
the knowledge gained through their school robotics club to design holiday workshops which had their
class of 17 focused youngsters inventing their own devices. The course earned rave reviews with a
female participant commenting "I learned more in the workshop than I learned over the last year at
school".


These young instructors are being mentored under the Digital Hub's talent development program. "I was
blown away by the level of engagement I observed between the students and instructors" said Roman
Olivera, a parent.

We've been incredibly impressed by the drive and professionalism of Eamon, Connor, George and Bryn.
They've put in many hours of preparation during their school holidays and are fantastic role models for
both the younger kids and their peers.
