“Throughout the program, we've immersed ourselves in the fascinating world of robotics,
from understanding the fundamentals to troubleshooting and resolving problems.
The hands-on experiences and collaborative tasks have been instrumental in shaping us into skilled technicians ready to tackle the challenges of the ever-evolving field of manufacturing and robotics.
I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the Insulet team, who fueled this program and opened our eyes to the dynamic field of Robotics in manufacturing. The industry tour provided an
