Twenty-two high school students attended Summer Technology Camp on Penn College's campus June 24-27, during which they experienced hands-on workshops in all of the School of Industrial and Engineering Technologies laboratories. Students were able to make their own concrete (civil engineering), design their own plastic thermo forming sign (plastics and polymers), create a rapid prototype (CAD and drafting), design and manufacture a personalized coaster (automated manufacturing), construct a motor (electronics), and try their hand at welding. Campers learned about endless career opportunities as they were discovering these engineering technologies. This camp was sponsored, in part, by the Central Pennsylvania Tech Prep Consortium. (
