Questech, Inc is a manufacturer of educational equipment
and industrial training programs. Our 11,000 sq. ft. manufacturing/training
facility is located in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Our product lines
include Microbot Robots, the Construction Zone, Technology Zone,
and Custom Furniture Solutions.
Questech,
Inc. was formed in 1991, bringing together two educational training
companies, Microbot and Career Research. Both companies were pioneers
in their respective areas.
Micobot
is a leader in robot technology and automation training. The Microbot
TeachMover is a durable, affordable robotic arm used for the teaching
of robotic fundamentals. Specifically designed to simulate industrial
robot operations in the classroom or laboratory, over 5,000 TeachMovers
are used in schools, universities and industrial training programs.
Questech
has taken its years of experience manufacturing the Microbot TeachMover
to dramatically expand its features and create an even more effective
robotic teaching tool. The Microbot TeachMover II was introduced
in the spring of 2000, including features that will challenge students
to expand their knowledge of robotic work cells. Dr. Larry Heath
from Indiana State University has developed the curriculum for Microbot.
The goal of the Microbot curriculum is to help students enjoy learning
about robots and automation.
Questech
purchased a company called Career Research/Choice from Ken Larsen
in 1991. Ken Larsen spent 29 years as a product and sales manager
for IBM. After retiring he launched a second career devoted to making
a difference in the lives of young people through education. In
1980, he founded Career Research/Choice, a company that offered
hands-on vocational training and opportunities for career exploration
and discovering occupational aptitudes and interests. Questech kept
the same hands-on approach when developing our Construction Zone
and Technology Zone modules from Career Research/Choice.
Questech
is the primary equipment vendor for UAW/Ford's Technology Awareness
Program, an industrial training program intended to help hourly
employees understand how technology effects their jobs.
Questech
also custom designs and manufactures furniture, allowing a choice
of sizes and colors to suit school's individual needs. Our Locking
Workstation, used in the Construction and Technology Zone product
lines, has become popular wherever valuable technology equipment
or computers need to be secured.
Our
hands-on products, supported by outcome-based curriculum, are exciting
students and adults about their career opportunities.
