The Victorian Challenge and Enrichment Series (VCES) is an initiative funded by the Victorian Government to extend and engage high-ability students across the state. The series provides opportunities for students from Foundation to Year 12 in Government Schools to participate in enrichment learning experiences that challenge their thinking, build advanced skills, and encourage creativity, problem-solving and collaboration.

Ecolinc’s STEAM Ahead program provides high-ability students with a unique opportunity to extend their learning by connecting directly with leading STEM experts through an interactive video conference, followed by a dynamic hands-on workshop. This blended experience allows students to engage with real-world STEM concepts, ask questions of experts in the field, and then apply their knowledge in practical, inquiry-based activities. Designed to challenge and inspire, STEAM Ahead encourages critical thinking, creativity and collaboration, empowering students to explore their potential as future innovators and problem-solvers.

In Term 4, the following VCES programs are on offer:

Fossil Forensics	Year 5-6	Thursday 23rd October	10am – 12pm
The Science of Climate Change	Year 5-6	Wednesday 19th or Thursday 20th November	10am -12pm
