An Australian Experiment in Peer to Peer Education
Innovation Space
ASMS – A school without walls
We chose the basement
Bought cheap furniture
The experiment started
Student driven projects
Games and software..
Got very crowded…
A 3 Year Evolution
Year 1 Digital LiteracyYear 2 Supporting student driven projectsYear 3 Integration into ASMS
3 Projects
Oculus Rift…before Public release
Self Organisation
Just in time learning
Self Organisation
We want to build a satellite
1 On Board Computer (Raspberry Pi)2 Micro Controllers (Arduino)3 Cameras (Hi Resolution, Downward facing Low Res, Infrared)7 Sensors (Radiation, Magnetic Field, Humidity, Temperature, H,O,Co2)
+Battery pack, Hard Drive
“I was very impressed with the student’s understanding of the challenges they faced, their proposed solutions to these challenges, how far they’d travelled before needing help ….
It would put a lot of final year engineering students to shame….!”
Circuit Diagram from U Tube
They have been the only group of school students who decided to completely design a CubeSats from phase zero. Their initiative is a worldwide first in schools education and we have been very proud to support them.

Why Instruct ?
12 year learn 3D Printingall by themselves
In 15 minutes they figured it all out
3 96+3
1718+9
5034+17
150100+50
450300+150
@ASMS 60% are now able to 3D print.
From 4 > > 200 of students Some of them have acquired high level of expertise (from a survey with 109 respondents out our 350 odd students)
Peer to Peer Transmission
Infection Model
If you scratch the surface…
Home built compressed air gun
Apps in Istore…
Award winning project
StormCell - here is known as KMCSBOOKING is a real time people management software. It handles 3000 jobs a month - roughly 300 jobs a day.
Self Taught Programmer
School is for down time
What we learnt
If there is interest learning happens Making is Learning Natural Interest in Technology Knowhow is infectiousCreate Conditions for learning
What this experiment all about Why did we do it?
To find out the upper limits of1. Can we solve the problem of engagement ?2. Can get students interested in Science
Engineering & Technology?3. Can they teach their Peers ?4. Can they outlearn their teachers ?5. Can we do all this on a shoe string ?
