Above: pictures from Marcus' Cert II and Cert III classes enjoying the UTAS experience at Don. 

The UTAS MILE  “Mobile Interactive Learning Experience” visited Don College earlier in the term allowing students to take part in learning sessions that could help them discover what they wanted to know about future careers. Many classes participated in the sessions which provided a broad spectrum of study options for students including Agribusiness and Ag Science, Drones, Virtual Reality, Nursing, Events Management, Sports Management and Business.

Teachers received positive feedback from students from these sessions. Marcus Wynwood's Cert II and Cert III IT class spent some time with the UTAS MILE Truck said it was absolutely fabulous. They took part in drone races, and defusing bombs in Virtual Reality. The students were excited, and engaged, and it showed them a Uni pathway without an ATAR via the Associate Degrees.

Don has already made enquiries about next year's visit from the MILE truck following such a positive experience for students.
