The world awaiting our students is becoming increasingly complex, dynamic and unpredictable. To thrive, we are told our students will need to be creative, adaptable and able to transfer skills from one context to another with relative ease. But how do they do that effectively? Inter-disciplinary education may hold the key. The Range Project is an educational podcast that draws lessons from those who have made a habit of expanding their range. Each guest has gone beyond an area of specialisation, gained their own inter-disciplinary understanding of the world and found their passion in the process.

Studio Scotch is proudly supported by Old Scotch Collegians, Scotch Parents and Scotch College Teaching and Learning.

    What happens when you follow a passion for computer science, get a law degree and supposedly commit to the path of least resistance? According to OSC Ty Haberland, that can land you a dream job! With the recent emergence of powerful tools such as ChatGPT, we wanted to hear from someone at the coalface of this new AI landscape. Ty is a tech lawyer working for boutique digital law firm Stirling and Rose specialising in emerging digital technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence.

We also discuss consciousness and AI, how we will consume media in an increasingly hyper-personalised digital world, the notion of digital parks, what happens to our meaning, motivation and purpose when AI applications reach exponential levels of efficiency and many other topics.
