Special Visitors

Published: Wednesday, 27 July 2016

During our summer working out of the Engineers Australia Victoria office, we had some special visitors. Minister Merlino, the Deputy Premier and Education Minister was our first visitor, on 16 December 2015.

Following that, The Hon. Linda Dessau, the Governor of Victoria paid us a visit in our final week at those offices. We showcased all our robotic and computer vision projects.
