Did you know that interactive activities can enhance student learning by six times? 📚 Our apprentices took a visit to explore manufacturing where they engaged in an interactive learning session and explored various production processes on the manufacturing floor. By learning that the factory is linked together using modern construction technologies, they were able to link it back to their current university modules. A great day of learning! #interactive #construction #development Daniel Clayton John Ball Keane W. Nathaniel Leake Brady Boardman

Learning at its Best!

A few weeks ago, I talked about Spruce’s relationship with Rider University and how we welcome entrepreneurial students onto our team every year to discuss project ideas. Well, this year’s group has arrived! We’re looking into mechanizing in the industry. With more automatic machines and robotics, we may need less custodial staff, but we certainly need more mechanics. Our biggest problem is that fewer kids want to become mechanics. For this year’s project, our students are going to explore the idea of attracting new talent. Our mechanics at Spruce are getting older, and we need more already. The project we’re considering is partnering with vocational schools to create an apprenticeship at Spruce with an opportunity for a job at the end. The students are going to research the viability of this idea and let us know if we should implement it or not. We took our students’ advice last year, and it’s gone great—I can’t wait to see what they come up with this time! #opportunity #business #leadership #entrepreneurship #mechanics

Happy Engineer's Day! 🎉👷♀️👷♂️ At ibrick, we believe that every child has the potential to be an engineer. Our brick-based STEM projects are designed to nurture this potential, turning playtime into valuable engineering experience. Here's how ibrick is building the engineers of tomorrow: - Hands-on Problem Solving: Kids tackle real engineering challenges by building and optimizing their creations for various missions. - Mechanical Principles in Action: Through playing with gears and motors, complex concepts become tangible and understandable. - Iterative Design Process: Children learn to plan, build, test, and improve – mirroring real-world engineering practices. - Spatial Reasoning: Interpreting and following building instructions enhances 3D thinking skills crucial for engineering. By engaging with ibrick's projects, children aren't just playing – they're developing the foundational skills of engineering. They're learning to see the world as a set of solvable problems, limited only by their creativity and perseverance. To all engineers out there: Thank you for building our world. To the parents and educators: Thank you for nurturing our future innovators. Join the ibrick STEM adventure and start #EngineersDay #STEM #FutureEngineers #LEGOLearning #ibrick

A proposal to establish an advanced manufacturing apprenticeship and community robotics center at Tunxis Community College in Farmington is gaining support from business advocates in Connecticut. Senate Bill 430, introduced by the Commerce Committee, seeks authorization for up to $4 million in bonds from the state Bond Commission to establish the center within the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system. This facility, developed in collaboration with local manufacturers, aims to address the state's workforce shortage by providing advanced manufacturing programming and training in robotics. With a significant investment required to launch the center, advocates emphasize the importance of funding to prepare future employees for the evolving manufacturing landscape. Industry leaders, including the Connecticut Business & Industry Association (CBIA) and Connecticut Roundtable on Climate and Jobs (CRCJ), endorse the proposal, highlighting the critical need for skilled workers in the growing manufacturing sector.

We are all so young (whether we think it or not) when we are asked to choose a college, a major, and a career.🍎 Something as simple as this little letter can make such a huge difference in a young persons life. Check out the article below from our client, Sirois Tool, which includes the link to Modern Machine Shop's letter.⬇

What an interesting mechanism a Shaper Machine has! As shown in the picture, the advance is slow to remove material efficiently, while the return is much faster to reduce the 'dead' time of the process. What's fascinating is the conversion of circular motion into linear motion, a process facilitated by the Whitworth mechanism. This type of machine is quite old, and if you're young, you might never have seen one in a workshop. Luckily, I had the opportunity to use one during my apprenticeship. It is easy to operate and extremely helpful for building prototypes or small batches in production. However, for mass production, it can be a bit inefficient due to the time lost in the process, and there are more modern and efficient solutions available. In the first comment, I will post a video demonstrating the working principle! #mechanicalengineer #production #shapermachine #mechanism

Interesting is the best teacher. Great to have an good apprentice, who could practice clamping and simple testing for aluminium parts machining within such 1 week. Great to have a team with new blood. #cncmiling #cncmachining #cncparts #cncclamping #prototyping #aluminiumparts

High Schoolers NEED TO BECOME MACHINISTS! As high schoolers stand on the threshold of their future, the path to becoming a machinist offers a promising and fulfilling career. Machining is not just about operating machines; it's a craft that combines technology, precision, and creativity. For those in high school looking to step into this role, the journey begins with a passion for making things and a curiosity about how things work. Vocational programs and apprenticeships provide hands-on experience, while courses in math, science, and engineering lay the foundational knowledge. The modern machinist is a problem-solver, an innovator, and a key player in the manufacturing process. With advancements in technology, the field is evolving, offering opportunities to work with cutting-edge equipment and techniques. Let's encourage our youth to explore this path, where they can shape their future and contribute to the backbone of industry. The world of machining awaits, ready to turn their potential into precision. #Machinist #Manufacturing #CareerPath #HighSchoolToCareer #SkilledTrades #cncprogramming #cnclathe #cncmachines #plasticmolding #customeplasticmolding #aluminummachining #machiningjobs #precisionmachining #machining #grinding #cncmachining #aerospacemanufacturers #cncmachinist #cncmachine #cncturning #cncmilling #cncmachiningparts #cncmanufacturing #manufacturingtechnology #manufacturingexcellence #cncservices #cncmaching #aircraftmachining #aerospacemachineshops
