WELDING DEMONSTRATIONS AT SCHOOLS AND EXPOS

EXPLORING A CAREER IN WELDING AT GRACE LUTHERAN COLLEGE CABOOLTURE

The spirit of competition was high as staff and students strived for the highest score at a recent demonstration day at Grace Lutheran College in Caboolture. Weld Australia was on-hand with augmented reality welding simulators, joining the Industrial Tech students for some hands-on welding practice using specialised training equipment designed to train students in the art of welding. By developing fine motor skills and good welding practices, the students were able to achieve fantastic results throughout the session.

WELDING DEMONSTRATIONS AT SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT QUEENSLAND

Over the last month, Weld Australia has visited several schools to provide demonstrations and introduce students to what a career in welding might look like. We visited both Kutta Mulla Gorinna Special Assistance School and the Mackay Northern Beaches State High School. We had the Soldamatic augmented reality welding simulators on-hand, which all the students were keen to try. These visits help students gain insight into trade skills and career pathways, including local employment opportunities.

WHITSUNDAY FESTIVAL OF STEM

In collaboration with the Mackay Manufacturing Hub, Weld Australia recently attended the Whitsunday Festival of STEM.

We had the Soldamatic augmented reality welding simulator on-hand to introduce high school students to the world of welding. There were over 1,000 students who participated in a whole host of activities across three days, from F1 in schools and drone competitions, through to a junior robocup. And, of course, give the art of welding a try.

The engagement from students with the virtual reality welder was amazing. By providing students these hands-on activities it opens their eyes to other career paths that they may not have considered.
