Creative Directions: Transdisciplinary Career Days

Creative Directions: Transdisciplinary Career Days is a full-day program that invites students to speculate about the world of work through transdisciplinary tours at Science Gallery Melbourne and the Potter Museum of Art. It will develop students’ understanding of emerging careers, connections between disciplines, and an ability to generate ideas.
