# Proposed Automation Lab

<figure><img src="/files/ztKpqHcZWL6zfNrDs1zg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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.

### Project-based Learning

Local high school teachers and students may visit the Industry Connect lab at the ROCK to collaborate on projects over an extended period of time. The lab provides access to collaborative space and technology like robots and a 3-D printer -- as well as project templates and guidelines to help jump-start projects.&#x20;

### Technology-specific Training

Local students are invited to complete technology-specific training sessions that provide a thoughtful lead-in to professional certifications in current and emerging skills.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.launchboard.app/industry-connect-2024/automation-lab/proposed-automation-lab.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
