For Externals
In order to achieve the objectives of TechLauncher, it is essential that our students engage with the local innovation, business and government communities, as well as the broader community.
Individuals and organisations can engage in the following ways:
- project stakeholders
- tutors
- fund prizes and scholarships
- part of our professional development program
Project Stakeholders
The core objective of TechLauncher is to have our students work on real-world projects with stakeholders from business, government and the broader community. Projects span 2 semesters, and stakeholders are expected to commit to the full duration.
Tutors
Each student team has a tutor who acts as scrum master, meeting with them weekly in The Hive to provide guidance on Agile practices, planning, and sprint execution. Note that tutors are paid by the university.
Commitment. Tutors are assigned teams and meet with them on their allocated Hive day. Tutors also contribute to sprint review assessments and provide ongoing feedback.
Tutors will also be involved in various support activities including tutor training, assessment and meetings with the course coordinators. For more detail about the schedule, please read more »
Constraints. The university provides the following guidance:
- All teaching must be in English unless explicit permission is sought and received
- Please stick to Canvas and its Ed Discussion board for course interactions
- Avoid interactions with enrolled students on social media
Professional Development
If you are interested in providing a professional development opportunity for students (e.g. giving a talk, running a workshop), please contact one of the Course Convenors.
