LEARNING EXPERIENCE (LX) PROJECT
The mission is to increase females in tech careers
The Learning Experience is a lifelong journey where females are guided in learning as they navigate and explore a career in the technology sector. The focus of this project is on evaluating and remixing the workshops provided to students in high school in South Australia.The lesson plan remix focuses on how this could be expanded nationally and expand to other learner groups e.g. Parents & Caregivers, Educators & Teachers, Career Counsellors, Employers.Implementation of the learning experience lifecycle would mean that current generations of girls in high school could become mentors and inspire future generations. The lesson plan remix provides the opportunity for a learning experience to be woven from high school to higher education and then into the workforce.

Project brief
The mission is to increase females in tech careers.The Learning Experience (LX) project brief is to scale the current high school workshop program for impact. Taking the existing in person model and enabling it to be shared and shown nationally.The Learning Experience is a journey where students are guided in learning as they navigate and explore a future career in technology. The lifecycle starts in high school, transitions with them into vocational or tertiary education, and then into the workforce.Key aspects of the project brief:
To evaluate the existing high school workshop program.
Target Audience is Girls aged 12-17.
Not for profit organisation located in Adelaide South Australia.
Propose a strategy to scale the program as a Learning Experience (LX) nationally.
Utilise Learning Experience (LX) pedagogies, modalities, theories and principles to remix the student workshops and transform it ready to scale and achieve the mission, vision and goals of this not for profit organisation.
Current learning modality is conversational and peer learning in person using live poll, quiz and response technology over wifi and applications on devices.

STAGE 3: TECHNOLOGIES FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
Technologies that support this lesson needed to meet the criteria set out in the project brief. The brief was to help learners learn, have a foundation in theoretical learning, and be adaptable to different learning environments eg high schools anywhere in Australia.
Automated The existing approach is manual which is not scalable for a volunteer run organisation to facilitate. So the technology applications, software and tools selected had to have automation sequences.
Integrated The learning and teaching technologies needed to easily integrate between applications, software and tools.
Accessible Whatever learning modality (online, in person or hybrid) the learning program needs to be accessible for anyone to view and access across Australia.
Scalable To go from hundreds to 30,000 girls statewide and then to 250,000 girls nationally requires learning technologies that are easily scalable without having to significantly increase financial commitment, resources etc.
Return on Investment Financial commitment and ROI is essential in a not for profit organisation.
User Experience for Educators and Students to easily interact, engage, connect and learn.
Project Report read further about how these technologies help learners learn, the relevant affordances, relevant learning theory, ability to support learning in different situations.
