Apprentice Automation Challenge

AAC2023 Meet the Team: It's All Under Control!

Apprentice Automation Challenge Team

In their own words, the team from reigning champions Leonardo provide an overview of their team for this year's competition.

Our team at Leonardo's Luton site consists of a dynamic group of apprentices who specialise in various fields and bring unique skills to the group. We are excited to be part of the IMechE challenge and take on the task of creating a new device that automates homes.

We understand that the journey ahead will require a lot of hard work, but we are up for the challenge. We are eager to learn from each other, push our boundaries, and apply our knowledge to develop an ambitious product that has the potential to change the way people interact with technology in their homes.

Above all, we are excited about the experience of creating something new from scratch. We are confident that our teamwork, dedication, and passion will result in a product that we can all be proud of.
