Hello fellow followers,
This week in Kansas City has been a blur. Time has passed quickly during the day due to a busy schedule. The national contest committee has changed the look of the Precision Machining competition- due to the loss of business and industry partners and sponsors that donate machinery and tooling. The contest started on Tuesday with the orientation and briefing of the agenda. The students were bused over to Metropolitan Community College on Wednesday in order to operate the manual machinery portion of their contest. Thursday was spent at the conference hall floor at Bartle Hall competing on CNC milling and turning, programming, process control, shop theory, applied math, written exam, blueprint reading, and professional development interview. Friday was a day where the students finally had their first chance to sleep in and catch up on some greatly needed rest... and also had some time to sightsee in the Kansas City area. We are all looking forward to returning back home ASAP and enjoying our much awaited summer days. See all of you soon.
