Welcome to this first edition of a
new monthly series of Tech Prep Minute e-newsletters from the Miami
Valley Tech Prep Consortium. As a key partner in Tech Prep, we want
to keep you informed of activities, successes and opportunities
throughout our consortium and we believe the Tech Prep Minute will
accomplish that in a timely and cost effective manner. As you
receive your e-newsletter early each month during the school year,
we invite you to take a minute, literally, to catch up on Tech Prep
news in the Miami Valley. Links will often be provided to take you
to more detailed information on topics of interest.
Our
local Tech Prep Showcase was held on March 2 at Sinclair Community
College. The event was the biggest in the consortium's history with
over 200 participants. For a look at
the 2006 winners go here.
Congratulations to the
Greenville automotive Tech Prep team whose project won the
regional/state Skills USA competition with a superior rating and
perfect score. They will be competing at the national competition in
Kansas City this June.
Jim Prater, Tech
Prep engineering technologies teacher, reports that his team won the
gold medal at the SkillsUSA state competition this past weekend in
the manufacturing category. The team consisted of David Bauer,
Justin Crum and Julian Frias. They will also be going to the
SkillsUSA nationals in Kansas City in June. Great job Stebbins!
Rick Barr of Kettering Fairmont High School will
soon be getting help with his college tuition. The Dimension 3D
Printing Group, a business unit of Stratasys, Inc. has announced him
as the third place winner of its second annual “Extreme Redesign:
The 3D Printing Challenge,” a global design and 3D printing contest
