A school incursion is when our Junior Engineers team comes directly to your school to deliver a hands-on, curriculum-aligned program — no travel required for your students. Unlike an excursion, everything happens right on your school grounds, making it easy to integrate into
your timetable with minimal disruption. Our instructors arrive fully prepared with all the equipment and resources needed to run an engaging and structured session, so your school community gets a rich learning experience without the logistics of leaving campus.

Our incursion programs are designed to cater to both primary and high school students, covering Years 1 through 12. For primary school students in Years 1 to 6 (ages 6 to 12), our programs are scaffolded to suit different developmental stages — from introductory coding
experiences for younger learners through to more complex, project-based challenges for upper primary. For high school students in Years 7 to 12, our incursions are designed to meet more advanced learning outcomes, introducing deeper programming concepts, digital problem-solving, and technology skills that are both curriculum-aligned and industry-relevant. Regardless of the year level, each incursion is thoughtfully tailored to engage students at the right level of challenge and creativity. If you have mixed-age groups or specific year level requirements across your school, we're happy to work with you to design a delivery plan that suits your needs.

Not at all. Our incursions are entirely instructor-led, meaning our Junior Engineers team takes full ownership of session delivery from start to finish. Your classroom teacher is welcome to observe, participate, or step back — whatever works best for them. That said, our incursions
are designed to complement the Digital Technologies curriculum, so teachers often find the sessions a valuable professional learning experience in their own right. No preparation or prior technical knowledge is required on the part of school staff.

Our instructors come to your school fully equipped with everything needed to run the incursion. This includes laptops or devices, all relevant software — such as Scratch, Minecraft Education Edition, or Micro:bit programming environments, depending on the program — and any supporting materials. We take care of the setup and pack-down on the day, so there's nothing for your school to organise in advance. If your school has its own devices you'd like to incorporate, we can discuss that option when planning your booking.

Our standard incursion sessions are typically 60 minutes in length, though duration can be adapted to suit your school's timetable and specific program requirements. For school holiday workshops focused on Minecraft and Micro:bit, we offer both one-day and two-day intensive on- site formats — ideal for scheduling at the end of Term 2 or Term 3. When you get in touch to book, we'll work with you to find a session length and structure that fits your community's needs

Yes, absolutely. We can structure our incursion days to reach students across multiple year levels, running sessions back-to-back throughout the day to accommodate different classes. Whether you'd like a whole-school incursion day, a series of targeted year group sessions, or an ongoing after-school program open to all students, we can design a delivery model that works for your school. We're experienced in scaling our incursions to suit both small and large school communities, so don't hesitate to ask about what's possible.

Getting started is straightforward. Simply reach out to our team via phone or email to express your interest and let us know a convenient time to connect. From there, we'll have a conversation to understand your school's needs, discuss the incursion programs best suited to your students, and agree on dates and on-site logistics. We recommend getting in touch early, particularly if you're looking to schedule sessions at popular times such as the end of term, as our calendar fills quickly. Our Head of Customer Success, Ross Medina, is also available to assist you throughout the entire booking process.

Yes. All Junior Engineers instructors hold current Working With Children Checks and are fully screened before visiting any school. Beyond compliance, we invest heavily in the ongoing professional development of our team — not only in the technical content they deliver during
incursions, but also in classroom engagement strategies and positive behaviour management. This means every on-site session is run by someone who is not only qualified and safe to work with children, but also skilled at creating a supportive, structured, and enjoyable learning environment for every student in the room.
