What You’ll Learn
Ten hands-on modules covering the core technologies shaping our world, designed for NDIS participants at all experience levels.
Understand what AI is, how it works, and how it’s already being used in everyday life — from voice assistants to recommendation systems. No technical background needed.
Get hands-on with robotics — program robots to move, sense their environment, and complete simple tasks. Explore how automation is changing work and daily life.
Learn the basics of coding through visual and block-based programming tools, building confidence with logical thinking, sequencing, and problem-solving along the way.
Discover how computers ‘see’ and recognise images — from facial recognition to object detection. Try image-based AI tools and learn how they work.
Explore how computers learn from data — train simple machine learning models, discover how predictions are made, and understand how AI improves over time.
Build practical technology skills for everyday use — from accessibility tools and smart home devices to AI assistants and productivity apps that support independence.
Who Is This For?
No prior experience is required. This program is designed to welcome participants at all ability levels, including those who have never used a computer or touched a robot before.

Why This Matters
Robotics, AI, and digital technology are transforming the way people with disabilities live, work, and participate in their communities. From assistive devices and smart home tools to AI-powered apps and robotic companions, technology is creating new possibilities for independence every day.
VHCC’s program gives participants the skills and confidence to engage with these technologies — not just as users, but as people who understand how they work and how to make them work.
