Rapt students listened to Micro Instrument Corporation CNC Manager Mike Failing speak about parts he had engineered that are now on Mars. It was part of this year's Advanced Manufacturing workshop at the Middle School for fifth-and-sixth-graders. The Career Exploration Workshop series began last year and was a huge success.  Students are able to choose an area of interest, like Advanced Manufacturing, and then connect with a variety of visiting experts from different areas in that field.  It's a great opportunity to begin to explore options for the future.
