The 2013 Summer STEM Experience is Underway!

We are excited that the 2013 Summer STEM Experience is underway! This morning, 24 students in grades 7-10 converged on the Industrial Systems Technology Center at Northeast Alabama Community College to spend a week experiencing robots and manufacturing.

The morning was filled with orientation: icebreakers, a discussion of entrepreneurism, an interactive lesson on manufacturing careers, and a safety briefing. This afternoon students will be building robots, learning technical drawing and precision measurement skills, and getting their first introduction to the machine shop. Look for us to post photos during the week.

NACC To Host NBT Camp

Officials at Northeast Alabama Community  College were recently notified that they will receive a grant to support a manufacturing camp for students this summer. This grant, provided by the Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs Foundation through a competitive grant competition, will take place in June. Details on this camp and other STEM-related activities for this summer will be announced soon.
