Outreach

The Robotics and Autonomous System Group at CSIRO’s Data61 is highly involved in outreach programs and initiatives that showcase the benefits of our work to society as well as excite children and young adults for a career in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

Technical visits of our facilities & robots, guest talks, and competitions are just some examples of our outreach initiatives.
