At BOP we develop and deliver programs for primary and high school students to help them develop their 21st-century skills around entrepreneurship, STEAM, and innovation. We work with schools, government and industry to create real, relevant and relatable content for students to get them innovating, creating and discovering the amazing things they can do at any age, from anywhere.

Our September School Holiday Online Workshops line-up will be taking place on different days over the course of the school holidays. Students may attend just one, or all of the programs (book them all to receive a free workshop). Junior Sessions (Grades 3-6) run from 9-11am AEST and Senior Sessions (Grades 7-10) run from 1-3pm AEST. You can find our available sessions below, with more information in the ticket description.
