Proposed Automation Lab

The proposed ROCK Automation Lab provides a path to raise awareness about STEM opportunities, support project-based learning, and facilitate technology-specific training leading to professional certification opportunities.

Lab Functions

STEM Awareness Events

Visit the Industry Connect lab at the ROCK for thoughtful demonstrations and quick hands-on experiences with emerging technology and industry practices. A curated set of demonstration videos and short articles will be posted soon that align with these experiences, providing broader reach and continued engagement.
