Welcome, AQUILAnauts to the AQUILA Magazine Taskmaster Education page!
We’ve partnered up with Taskmaster Education to set themed tasks and activities for AQUILAnauts to complete at home! Each month, you can come to AQUILA magazine for a regular Taskmaster fix. You can even submit your tasks to win points from Taskmaster Education HQ.
It’s all about encouraging young people to develop important life skills, such as teamwork, collaborative problem-solving, communication, critical thinking, knowing how to construct a shelter entirely from the contents of your nanna’s pantry – you know, that kind of thing.
