Osceola Public Schools

8 JAG students attended SCC Manufacturing & Engineering Day to explore various career fields including:

Design & Drafting Technology
Electrical & Electromechanical Technology
Electronic systems Technology
Energy Generation Operations Technology
Manufacturing Engineering Technology
Nondestructive Testing Technology
Precision Machining & Automation Technology
Welding Technology

Through hands-on learning activities, students explored and developed a deeper understanding of the skills required for careers in manufacturing and engineering. They also had the opportunity to collaborate with peers to plan, construct, and test a functional product. Landan and his partner designed a catapult using popsicle sticks, a balloon, tape, a small plastic cup, and a stirring stick. Their device performed exceptionally well—earning first place in the catapult challenge by successfully launching 17 ping pong balls into the inflatable pool. Students also had the opportunity to create a card holder and plaque, as well as assemble a fully functioning Ethernet cable, among many other activities!
