CEVA visit in their warehouse

Industry News

Wyndham Tech School continues to forge sustainable relationships with local businesses and recently met with the CEVA logistics team to discuss the challenges they are facing with the lack of digital talent, how they are using advanced robotic technology in their warehouses and a potential partnership.

We came across this report from the Australian Computer Society recently Computer Education in Schools 2022 Report. The report gives a background into how computer education has developed in Australia, the significant changes occurring due to the implementation of the Australian curriculum, and the development of Digital Technologies as a compulsory subject in all primary and lower secondary schools. It explores the approaches schools are taking to implement the curriculum and the challenges they are facing in establishing an entirely new subject.
