What is Manufacturing 1 ?

An introductory course exposing students to equipment and careers within the manufacturing community. This is a great course for students both interested in manufacturing AND students still not sure what they want to do, but like to apply their mind through the use of their hands! Utilizing the High School's 3000 square-foot Manufaturing Lab, students will create multiple projects as a means to learn the processes and equipment related to manufacturing. Some of these projects may include a hammer and a toolbox.
