There were a limited number of students allowed to attend the exploration of Trimble throughout Christchurch schools. Khush and Ranit were two of our students picked to attend. They had to sign confidentiality agreements and were taken on a tour of the future!

Khush’s view on the experience:

I recently had the amazing opportunity to attend the Trimble Experience Day for an exhibition of technology used in real-world applications using software, hardware, and augmented reality. Trimble is based in New Zealand and is a global firm with a reach in over 40 countries globally. We looked at technologies focusing on industries such as construction, and agriculture.

The day was filled with fascinating demonstrations and presentations, highlighting how these technologies are revolutionizing industries such as construction and agriculture. Attendees had the opportunity to interact with professionals working in these fields, gaining valuable insights into potential career paths and the future of these industries. Overall, Trimble Experience Day provided a unique and inspiring look into the world of geospatial and construction technologies, leaving attendees with a deeper understanding of the possibilities and opportunities in these fields.

It was truly an eye-opening experience to see how technology is shaping the future of industries like construction and agriculture. The hands-on demonstrations and presentations were incredibly engaging, and I left feeling inspired by the potential for innovation in these fields. Trimble Experience Day showed me that the possibilities are endless when it comes to using technology to solve real-world problems.

Ranits view on the experience:

I found my time there very enjoyable, with new technology and equipment that I'd never seen in person before. Experiencing this first-hand and interacting with some of the new techs was a huge privilege and worth it. I was able to see what these new technologies can provide for us in the future and how advanced things can get; making work in certain areas more efficient and safe as well. There were many things that I witnessed there and each technology opened my eyes more and more. A wonderful experience of the day and it's something that made me rethink my career path and gave me more options on what I want to do for my future career.
