Sheldon College in Brisbane, Australia, has evolved with the times: the building is equipped with a Business Enterprise Centre, a Design Technology workshop and a prototyping and robotics lab. There’s even iPad-operated robotic assistants allowing guest teachers or graduates to collaborate with students in real-time from anywhere in the world. Traditional classrooms have been replaced by individual pods, collaborative incubators and specialised focus laboratories to encourage project-based learning. But what is the idea behind all this? The answer is simple: Providing 21st century education to its students. An education that equips them for a fast-changing world.
