Our workshops

We're expanding our student engagement program from STEM to cover all QUT study areas. This semester, we have a limited workshop schedule as we develop new cross-disciplinary, project-based, hands-on learning experiences across the university curriculum. Please note that we will not be running workshops on Wednesdays during Term 3 and 4 .
