AddressAbout Young Engineers Australia
We are on a mission to equip primary students with the critical 21st century skills needed for the automation/robotics age. We believe automation and robotics will replace most routine & repetitive jobs/careers. So what's left for our kids when they enter the workforce? We expect they will be required to solve unusual, untimely & unwanted problems. They will need to tackle never-encountered problems.
Our programs are designed to help students develop STEM skills and mindset needed to navigate the uncertainly of the coming years. We offer these via school incursions, school holiday workshops and after-school clubs. This role is only responsible for after-school club.
