Participants will gain insights into the digital skills required by the workforce of the future in response to the demand for technology, cyber security and artificial intelligence specialists which continues to grow across the state.
Events are designed to meet the needs of high school students, as well as businesses and interested community members and they’ll be able to:

Digitrek is also coming to FarmFest, Toowoomba from Tuesday 6 – Thursday 8 June, 2023. Attendees will learn about new and emerging tech in a fun and engaging way where they can interact with an autonomous robot frill neck lizard, or become a cyber- sleuth and crack the hacks and scams.
