Year 7
My 2017 Discovery Courses were Technology and Material Studies ,
Comfort Zone Challenge , Robotics and
Systems Engineering Studies . I selected them because I wanted to do wood work and something hands-on . In Year 6 I thought I would like to do
Robotics as a career , but after doing the
Discovery Course I changed my mind ! This year I have learned how to use a drill press and a band saw , how to take effective notes , how to program an EV3 robot and how n ot to glue my fingers together !
Catalyst has helped me to understand what to expect as
I move through the years .

For Year 8 I selected courses that I thought would be good for me as I was still discovering what I wanted to do and what I enjoyed . I selected Small Business Project , Robotics , Media Studies and Technology and Material Studies . I studied Robotics and Media Studies in Year 7 and enjoyed them , so elected to study them further this year to deepen my understanding .
I enjoy the hands-on activities and the problem-solving skills that are involved in Robotics and Systems Engineering , and the fact that these courses can help me in my future studies by having practical experience . Catalyst gives me a wide choice of courses to select from and opportunities to experiment with my choices .
