Laurentian University summer camp connects younger students with the future of mining and battery electric technology
As Sudbury works toward a stronger partnership between mining and the battery electric automotive industry, the effort is underway to introduce science and technology to the next generation of local scientists and technicians.
"And so we partnered with Collège Boréal, Cambrian College and some local companies Epiroc, Technica Mining and Laurentian Chrysler to offer a camp where students will get to experience skills that are offered through the programming of those post secondary institutions," said Tardif. In another part of the room, other students were trying their hand at remotely operating scaled-down miniature versions of excavators and mine haulage trucks. At a nearby table, other students worked at hooking up the wireless connections to operate the vehicles."It's going pretty good. Because we got to make these trucks and stuff, we had to put ground and positive and negative into the right spots to a pin board, which is pretty cool.," said Mende.
She said one of the key reasons for the program is that there is a worry about a shortage of skilled technical workers in the battery electric automotive and mobility industries.
