About the Maritime Immersion Program
The Maritime Immersion Program is a 3 day program in the school holidays. This program has been designed for Tasmanian high school students in Years 10 - 12, and will take place at the Australian Maritime College in Launceston.
Students will have the chance to experience maritime activities at university and with our maritime industry partners.
Students will spend time in immersive simulators driving boats, learning how to save a sinking vessel, operating tug boats and 200m+ ships, design and test floating structure prototypes in an engineering challenge, plan a global shipping network in a logistics challenge, learn about autonomous vessels, meet experts and be inspired by current university students and researchers, and more.
At the same time, students will learn about the exciting developments and opportunities in the maritime industry and will get an introduction to university and the future of maritime.
* Accommodation and meals are not provided as part of the program.
