eLabtronics in collaboration with the University of South Australia, Flinders University and the Australian Science & Mathematics School (recently Adelaide University) have initiated the award winning CoreChart Robotic Peer Mentoring (RPM) program. CoreChart is an eLabtronics invention which simplifies the programming of microchips.

Beyond stimulating students interest in science and mathematics learning, the program aims to develop a world class microchip innovation skills base to grow the economy.

Through their involvement in the program young people will learn about robotics and microchips, develop problem solving skills and generally gain an appreciation of engineering as a career and profession. 

The RPM Industry Projects provide the students an opportunity to accumulate in-depth industry experience sought after by employers while in schools

The program is strongly supported by the Premier's Science and Research Fund and Industry Sponsorships. It is recognised nationally by Engineers Australia and the Electronics Industry Association. The program has been endorsed by the Australian Electrical Electronics Manufacturing Association AEEMA for a national roll out.
