A premium 7-day program for international students aged 15–17, built for the generation growing up at the intersection of artificial intelligence, climate responsibility, and a reshaping career landscape. Every activity has a named educational purpose, a measurable outcome, and a connection to the themes students will live with for the rest of their lives. This is a curriculum extension for senior students — not a travel itinerary.
Every day of the program threads through at least two of these themes. The final day brings them together in a closing seminar on where they intersect in each student's own life.
Introduction to AI concepts, machine learning, and how technology reshapes everyday life. Real examples, interactive demos, open discussion.
Australia's biodiversity, conservation science, human impact on ecosystems, and the technology being used to protect them.
Why emotional intelligence remains the most valuable skill in a digital age. How to read a room, build trust, and use technology as a tool — not a crutch.
Exposure to tertiary study pathways in technology, trades, and applied sciences. What an Australian university or TAFE career path actually looks like from the inside.
Team-based real-world problem-solving with technology-informed solutions. Systems thinking, creative reasoning, cross-cultural collaboration.
The week opens on the Great Ocean Road, moves into Melbourne for the tech and pitch days, heads to Ballarat for history and school integration, then closes with future pathways and a closing seminar back at Together Co-Living.
Anglesea · Cape Otway · Great Ocean Road
Students land in Australia and are immediately immersed in its natural environment — kangaroos in their natural habitat at Anglesea, the engineering story of Cape Otway Lighthouse, and a scenic transit along the Great Ocean Road. The day frames the week ahead through a lens of curiosity and environmental responsibility.
Students arrive in Australia with an immediate connection to the natural environment. The day builds awareness of biodiversity, conservation, and the role of technology and engineering in our relationship with the natural world — framing the week ahead through a lens of curiosity and environmental responsibility.
Together Co-Living · AI & Tech specialist seminar
Students transition from tourism mode into learning mode. Morning transfer from Geelong to Together Co-Living in Melbourne — their home base for the remainder of the tour. Afternoon seminar with an AI and technology specialist delivering an age-appropriate introduction to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and how technology shapes everyday life.
Students transition from tourism mode into learning mode. By day's end they have their first meaningful engagement with AI concepts, have built early rapport with facilitators, and are set up for the most education-intensive stretch of the tour.
Innovate & Pitch · Awards Dinner at Novotel
The signature day of the program. Morning: team-based real-world problem solving. Afternoon: students design and pitch their own tech idea to the room. Late afternoon seminar on emotional intelligence in a digital age — why the human skills remain the most valuable, even as AI capability advances. Evening: Innovation Awards Dinner at Novotel.
Students develop practical skills in problem-solving, creative thinking, and communication. The day deliberately connects technology capability with human skills — reinforcing that the future belongs to people who can do both. The awards dinner builds group cohesion and confidence.
Ballarat school · AFL · Sovereign Hill innovation
A full day connecting Australian history, culture, and education. Morning at a local Ballarat school — experiencing Australian classroom culture and a STEM-focused lesson alongside local students. Lunch and outdoor AFL intro as a lens on Australian cultural identity. Afternoon at Sovereign Hill positioned through "How Technology Drove the Gold Rush and Shaped a Nation" — drawing the line from 1850s mining engineering to today's tech landscape.
A full day that connects Australian history, culture, and education in a way that is both engaging and academically grounded. Students leave with a deeper understanding of how innovation has always driven human progress — and how that spirit continues today.
Melbourne Polytechnic · Animal Sanctuary
Students connect education to real-world purpose. Morning: Future Pathways Expo at Melbourne Polytechnic or TAFE — talk and campus experience at a leading Australian vocational and tertiary institution. Exposure to careers of the future in technology, trades, and applied sciences. Afternoon: conservation experience at an Australian wildlife sanctuary — habitat protection, human impact, and the technology being used to protect ecosystems.
Students connect education with real-world purpose. The morning gives visibility to tangible career and study pathways in Australia, while the afternoon reinforces the week's sustainability thread — leaving students with both a sense of possibility and a sense of responsibility.
Closing seminar · Melbourne by Design city tour
The final full day ties everything together. Morning closing seminar — students reflect on the week's learning and look forward. Facilitated discussion on how the skills, awareness, and experiences of the week translate into their own futures, followed by a goal-setting and personal reflection exercise. Afternoon: a Melbourne By Design city tour seeing how a modern city integrates technology, sustainability, and culture. Evening: Reflection & Farewell Dinner.
The final full day ties everything together. Students leave not just with memories but with a framework — an understanding of where technology, sustainability, and human skills intersect, and how that applies to their own lives and futures.
Melbourne Airport · Transfer & departure
Final breakfast, consolidated reflection materials, and transfer to Melbourne Airport. Students leave with personal journals, completion documentation, and a clear sense of what the week meant — plus ongoing access to alumni resources and follow-up career pathways information.
The three experiences across the week that consistently get remembered in student reflections and make this program distinct from anything else on the Australia inbound market.
Students develop and present their own tech ideas to the room. The winners are recognised at a celebratory dinner at Novotel. For many students this is the first time they've pitched anything publicly — and it's transformative for confidence and group cohesion.
Not a standard gold-mining tourist visit. Marketed and delivered as "How Technology Drove the Australian Gold Rush" — drawing the direct line from 1850s mining engineering to the AI era students live in now. Historical context made urgently relevant.
Students walk through an actual Australian tertiary campus, meet lecturers, and see study pathways in tech, trades, and applied sciences. For students considering Australian university, this is the moment "studying in Australia" stops being abstract and starts being a plan.
Pricing structure consistent with Melbourne Young Leaders — tiered by group size, transparent to agents. Exact per-student figures confirmed once the 1st draft itinerary is finalised.
Pricing structure follows our standard tiered-by-group-size framework. Because this is a 1st draft product with some venues still confirming, final per-student pricing will be confirmed for July 2026 cohorts. Early-enquiry partners receive pricing visibility first.
July 2026 cohorts are the first confirmed delivery window. Register early for pricing updates and venue confirmations — and we'll have the full 2nd draft brochure to you within 24 hours of request.
