WOTM Manufacturing Camp 2009

Add comment July 23rd, 2009

Tomorrow will be our last day of camp–tours of Advanced Machine and Ingersol will cap off a great week!

We have had 11 faithful attendees everyday. It is great to see them do the neat stuff at the new John Lundin Learning Center at Eigerlab plus the rapid prototyping machines at the FAB Lab. How to measure, why manufacturing is important, lots of snacks, lunch time speakers, SolidWorks, why math?, how much money can you make? hands on, the sherif, on and on!

Neat thing though, our SolidWorks teacher attend the WOTM Manufacturing Camp one of it’s first years. He was great and so excited! The results of this big effort by special people in our comminity, like Judy Pike, Barb Bishop, Kevin Thompson and sure me….we have been there all of the years, has paid off in such big dividends. We know we are impacting individual lives for keeps! Way to go! And thanks to any of you for your support money, time, and otherwise.
