Atlassian adventure

Their ShipEd philosophy is that students of the future need to understand how technology is changing the world and problem solving; critical thinking; creativity and adapting to change, are all skills they will need to acquire.  

RBSC students: Jess, Will, Kshama, Fred and teachers: Emma Radford and Kathryn Dobb, worked alongside two Atlassians, Matt and Ludo, who helped us to identify and address the significant problems that exist in schools today.

There were 20 schools involved in this full day hands on workshop, with each team at the end of the day, individually presenting their problem and solution to the rest of the schools and Atlassian staff. Kshama did extremely well, representing our team on addressing mental health issues in schools, explaining how our team came up with the potential idea of using technology to access assistance from professionals for all students.

We would very much like to acknowledge and thank Andi Breslin (an RBSC parent and director at Atlassian) for inviting us to attend and participate in this incredible opportunity, as well as Matt and Ludo for working with our students and teachers in helping us to rethink how to solve problems, through this innovative design thinking method.
