Mr O'Dea said the roadshow enables regional schools to experience the latest in thought leadership and technologies.
"I am hugely passionate about empowering students to be digitally educated and confident; ensuring they understand how they can shape their future for the better," he said.
"The interactive sessions involved are key to enhancing student's digital literacy."
Mr O'Dea said their partners, Think Digital, are renowned for creating immersive experiences which engage and educate.
Orange Public School Principal, Bradley Tom, said the roadshow was a continuation of recent STEM training provided to more than 1000 grade 6 students.
The On the Road with Optus roadshow, in partnership with Think Digital, will take place across two weeks, visiting Grade 3 to 6 students in Mudgee, Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst, Yass, Goulburn, Mittagong and Nowra.
