Quinebaug Valley Community College welcomed more than 90 students from 10 area high schools on Oct. 28 for the 7th annual Manufacture Your Future event, held annually as part of Advanced Manufacturing Month.
Students learned about QVCC’s credit, certificate, and degree programs, and met advanced manufacturing staff, instructors and graduates. They also toured the 10,000-square-foot facility and networked with businesses from Eastern Connecticut to explore future opportunities. During workshops, the students learned about robotics, 3D laser scanning and optics, lean and continuous improvement concepts, and programmable logic controllers.
