We were thrilled to welcome members of the Thomas Haney Secondary School robotics team to Shop XL yesterday for a hands-on learning experience! The visit featured a 3D printing demonstration, where we built a mock-up they designed, a BIM discussion to help them shape their robot for next year’s competition, and a close-up look at our AI Welding Robot from Novarc Technologies Inc. Eamonn Bermingham P.Eng a Principal at TD Systems Ltd, a Maple Ridge-based mechanical design company, also shared advice on mechanical engineering and design. The students also toured our state-of-the-art fabrication facility to see how technology can reshape the construction industry.   To support their efforts, we also donated $3,000 toward their competition funds because we believe in empowering young minds to push boundaries. This event marks the first in our Future of Work mini-series, aimed at inspiring the next generation and sharing the possibilities within our industry. We look forward to more opportunities to engage with students and build a future where innovation leads the way. "Our industry is rapidly evolving, and we’re excited to introduce these students to the technologies driving the future of construction. We love investing in our local community, and inspiring students is imperative to building a brighter future for our industry. We understand that schools often don’t have the resources to invest in the latest technology, which could give students a competitive edge. At Pitt Meadows Plumbing, we’ve made it a priority to invest in these innovations, going beyond what most companies and schools might consider.” - Steve Robinson, President, Pitt Meadows Plumbing Special thanks to Brandon Tucker from Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News for the article: https://lnkd.in/gf6FXG8e #Robotics #ConTech #NextGeneration #FutureofWork #STEMEducation
