Bridges Connect
Bridges Connect is a schools engagement project that utilises technology, to build capacity, raise awareness and motivation, and provide academic enrichment to schools with low rates of participation in higher education.
Our Objectives
- Research and develop relevant and sustainable content for schools using technology, such as the NSW Department of Education and Communities Connected Classrooms
- Raise capacity by offering teacher professional development
- Increase students' awareness, confidence and motivation towards higher education
- Offer academic enrichment sessions to support the school curriculum
- Reach up to 4,000 students, plus their teachers, over the life of the project
