Founded in 2018, the Ballarat Tech School is a Victorian State Government funded initiative hosted by Australia’s Federation University.Conceived as a hub for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), the school engages students in a high-tech learning environment, using innovative programs challenging them to solve problems in a real-world context.

The school’s tech support and innovation specialist, Albert Ferguson, recently unveiled their spectacular new VR room – complete with a fully-customisable RGB lighting system powered by ENTTEC gear. We spoke with him about this exciting development and what impact it’s likely to have on the students.
