Manufacturing Day

Saturday, September 13, 2025
This will be a hands-on, interactive workshop to expose area FIRST FRC students (and mentors) to the experiences and correlating career paths in the manufacturing industry. We will be designing, programming, running a CNC mill and inspecting with a CMM, an aluminum part that is a component on a FRC elevator assembly. There will be industry professionals (some of them FRC alumni) working with and alongside participants throughout the day and will be available to discuss their experiences working in the manufacturing industry.
