The aim of this full lifecycle approach is to pique the interest of younger primary school-aged students through the robotics academy, further learning for secondary school students through work experience programs, as well as empower and enable engineering graduates to start their career on the front foot through mentoring and industry placement programs.
While some existing initiatives have some similar elements to the proposed Lab61 programs, we are the only fully vertically-integrated ecosystem that focusses on education through to an employment outcome.
Students from School years 5 -9 will be provided with a unique learning experience to access robotic equipment and programming engineers as teachers, mentors, and role models, from Nexxis, Lab61, and sponsor companies. They have access to a large fleet of robotic inspection equipment, demonstrations, stories, and insights from our people to inspire them into choosing a career in STEM. Nexxis successfully completed two Robotics Academies last year during school holidays, involving students in years 5-6 , including 30% female participation.
The work experience program includes secondary school years 10-12, through to university and TAFE students. Some students will come from our STEM program, and we will tap into our global network and graduate Engineers at Nexxis for mentors and role models. This program not only focus on technical skills but also the business and entrepreneurial skills that have made Nexxis a success. Under Nexxis we completed various rounds of work experience with an overwhelming intake and feedback from the participants.
While some existing initiatives have some similar elements to the proposed Lab61 programs, we are the only fully vertically-integrated ecosystem that focusses on education through to an employment outcome.
