Manufacturing camp coming to WSUV
Portland-based nonprofit Saturday Academy has designed a weeklong manufacturing camp July 27-31 at the Washington State University Vancouver campus to allow eighth- through 10th-grade students to explore manufacturing and mechanical engineering.
At the camp, “Mechanical Engineering: Metal Fabrication,” students will work with WSUV instructors to create their own Stirling engine while learning metal fabrication techniques.
Funding came from a $5,000 grant from Nuts, Bolts and Thingamajigs (founded by actor John Ratzenberger), the Foundation of the Fabricators and the Manufacturers Association International.
