On September 21st, Exactaform’s headquarters buzzed with excitement and energy as we welcomed our team members and their families to our annual Family Day. The event was a great success, filled with fun, learning, and an inspiring glimpse into the world of precision engineering and manufacturing. This day was not only a celebration of the hard work and achievements of our employees but also an opportunity to inspire the next generation to consider engineering careers.
From the moment everyone arrived, it was clear this would be a day to remember. The afternoon kicked off with guided tours of our state-of-the-art facility, offering a unique behind-the-scenes look at some of the incredible projects our team has been working on. These tours were a highlight for many, especially the younger attendees, who were fascinated by the advanced technology that define our work at Exactaform. Watching the awe and curiosity on the faces of the children as they saw the machines and listened to explanations about what we do was inspiring.
These tours served as more than just an introduction to our work, they were a window into the exciting world of what a career in engineering could offer. By demystifying the work we do and showing it in action, we hope to have sparked a new interest in the minds of the younger visitors. Engineering and manufacturing are fields that thrive on innovation and creativity, and who better to carry the torch forward than the bright, inquisitive minds of our families.
Beyond the tours, the day was packed with fun and activities for the whole family. With music, games, and challenges, there was something for everyone to enjoy! It was wonderful to see our employees with their families, showcasing the incredible culture we’ve built here at Exactaform. Alongside the games and activities, we made sure to provide some fantastic street food. With a variety of delicious pizzas and a fully stocked bar, we ensured that no one left hungry!
One of the values at Exactaform is our commitment to inspiring future talent, and Family Day provided the perfect platform to do just that. By inviting families into our workspace and giving them an interactive experience of what we do, we aimed to plant the seed of curiosity in the young attendees. Engineering careers offer endless possibilities for those who are passionate about problem-solving, creativity, and making a tangible impact on the world.
In an era where technology and innovation are rapidly advancing, it's crucial to encourage young people to consider careers in engineering and manufacturing. The skills and knowledge they can gain in these fields are not only valuable but also vital for the future of industries worldwide. Seeing the enthusiasm of the children during the tours was a reminder of the importance of nurturing this interest from an early age.
Encouraging curiosity, providing them with STEM-related toys and activities, and talking about how engineering impacts everyday life are great ways to spark interest. Visiting events like Family Day also helps them see the real-world applications of engineering.
Children as young as 5 or 6 can start learning basic engineering concepts through play and exploration. Simple activities like building with blocks or exploring how things work are excellent starting points.
Exactaform is committed to nurturing future talent by offering internships, apprenticeships, and collaborative projects with educational institutions. We believe in providing hands-on experience to students at various levels.
Critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and strong mathematical and scientific knowledge are crucial for a successful career in engineering. Communication and teamwork are also vital in collaborative projects.
