The Year 8 students Digital Technology students visited Ballarat Tech School (BTS) this week for an automation excursion.
Automation is the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services. Automation changes how we do business and the type of manufacturing jobs available.
Over the day students gained experience and understanding in robotic applications, investigating, Applied Math (coordinates) and different end effectors and applications. The students also used mini-industrial robots and took part in basic electronics and programming.
BalCC students have the opportunity to participate in the innovative education programs offered at BTS, hosted by Federation University Australia (FedUni) at their SMB campus. BTS programs are focused on supporting students to gain science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills and capabilities.
