About TechTALK:
TechTALK’s mission is to help to close the STEAM skills shortage gap! We do this through various activities, including planning tech-centric events with multiple speakers followed by networking sessions, running industrial workshops, and collaborating with other organisations to enhance learning and development. We want to increase the technical knowledge level of everyone in New Zealand and all around the world.
At this event, we are partnering with The Centre for Automation and Robotic Engineering Science, UOA, to take the TechTALK events to the next level and focus on how Project-based Learning (PBL) and Industry-based Learning (IBL) can shape the future of education to address the STAM skill shortage gap.
