Laudato Si-Hour: becoming Waste Warriors through technology

Laudato Si-Hour is an innovative, integrated STEM initiative forming Year 4–6 students as “Waste Warriors” through sustainability-focused learning grounded in Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’. Across five-week cycles, students engage with coding, robotics (Spheros, LEGO Spike), and drone technologies to investigate and address real-world waste challenges. The program develops critical thinking, creativity, and technological fluency while fostering ecological responsibility and ethical action.

Students showcase their solutions through interactive demonstrations, promoting collaboration and student voice. Fully inclusive and embedded in the curriculum, Laudato Si-Hour empowers all learners to become capable, future-ready stewards committed to caring for our common home.
