Launch Event: WSTI Young AI Engineers Club

Join us for the official launch of the WSTI Young AI Engineers Club (YAEC) — a new initiative by Western Sydney Tech Innovators (WSTI) bringing together university students and young developers to learn real-world AI skills, build AI tools and automation workflows for local SMEs, and grow Western Sydney's homegrown tech talent.
YAEC bridges the gap between young talent and real business needs. Students gain hands-on experience with the latest AI agents and automation, build their portfolios on real projects, and join the pathway into WSTI's Studio team. Local SMEs get practical, tailored AI solutions. Western Sydney strengthens its position as a hub for innovation and homegrown tech talent.

## Who this launch is for

• Young people ready to learn real-world AI skills. University students, recent graduates, and self-taught developers — come see what YAEC is, meet the founding cohort, and find out how to join. Members work on real AI agent and automation projects with WSTI's senior team.
• Local SMEs curious about AI for their business. Come see live examples of AI automations our founding YAEC members are already building — for WSTI's own operations and for early SME pilots. Talk directly to the engineers and explore whether YAEC could build something for your business.
• Government, business, and community leaders. Hear from the Lord Mayor of Parramatta and other local leaders on why investing in Western Sydney's young AI talent matters for our community, economy, and future.

• Hear from the Lord Mayor of Parramatta and local government and business leaders on why this matters for Western Sydney
