Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!
Kids these days ..... the high school robotics team we sponsor
- Thread starter Mcgyver
- Start date
Maybe we'll even get Susquatch to watch a video
Of course I will (did).
We used to sponsor these competitions back in their early days and I judged a few back then too. Amazing to see how much things have changed.
When I was in high school our ‘guidance office’ was a joke (We spent a lot of time on stuff).That is just awesome.
High school for me involved, well, stuff
I did pickup the skills involved with making equipment, but, it was not until my application engineering years that I was able to design unique processes.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to develop their favourite skills.
Kids need exposure to these ‘cool’ experiences that will challenge their intellect and guide their choices in future occupations.
