.@Grayslake127 Middle School Manufacturing Camp ended the week with a trip to @LaserPrecision_ Students were able to see how skills gained & used in the camp can be applied in different career pathways. Thank you Kimberly Wimer & team for not only hosting us, but also sponsoring supplies for the lightsabers this week. @Ellingsen_Tech #NBTcamp #NotYourTypicalSummerCamp #manufacturing @ISBEnews

.@Grayslake127 Middle School Manufacturing Camp Day 3: campers are starting to take their dreams & designs & begin to manufacture their lightsabers. Campers learned about prototyping, looked at design successes and design flaws. You can see from smiles on faces they are enjoying learning about manufacturing thanks to @Ellingsen_Tech & interns.

Thursday’s @Grayslake127 Middle School Manufacturing Camp was completing the Lightsabers & coding them. Members of Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs (NBT) visited the camp as well today see the Lightsabers in action. Students learned how fun manufacturing can be! Friday, @Ellingsen_Tech will take the young jedi’s to visit to a Lake County Manufacturer @LaserPrecision_ to allow students to visualize career pathway opportunities. #NBTcamp #NotYourTypicalSummerCamp #D127GetsREAL @ISBEnews @EdSystemsNIU

.@Grayslake127 is hosting Dream, Design & Create Manufacturing Camp this week for middle school students. Today was day 1 as they began dreaming, designing & creating their own custom lightsaber. This process today exposed students to software & equipment used in the manufacturing process. @Ellingsen_Tech @fabricating #manufacturing #D127GetsREAL @ISBEnews @MichaelLKarner @EdSystemsNIU @lcppresident @lakecountywdb

.@Grayslake127 METT (Manufacturing, Engineering, Trades & Technology) students in Metalworking II had their final today. They showed off their hibachi welds, BBQ’d brats & dogs while meeting with local manufacturing companies. @Ellingsen_Tech prepared them to speak with several community partners today @LaserPrecision_ @ScotForge , @LMTOnsrudLP @fabricating @CLCIllinois , Ludlow, Nuts Bolts & Thingamajigs. #D127GetsREAL

A great morning celebrating @schuyler_gina and feeling grateful to be a part of such an amazing team in a wonderful, supportive county #thebigevent

@schuyler_gina @Grayslake_Rams @Grayslake127 This young man is extremely talented, with a strong work ethic and only a sophomore. I see great things ahead for Trent.

.@Grayslake_Rams intern designed, programmed, & cut parts for his hex wrench tool stand.  He measured the tools, modeled & programmed using Fusion 360. Now milling it on a Tormach 1100MX from original piece of 6061 Aluminum. @Ellingsen_Tech #CTEMonth @Grayslake127 #D127GetsREAL

🔧 Our CTE program in Manufacturing, Engineering, Technology & Trades is paving the way for the future across a broad spectrum of industries, including manufacturing, transportation, construction, and engineering! #D127GetsReal #D127 #CTEMonth

.⁦@Grayslake_Rams⁩ Metals II class partnered w/ ⁦⁦@LaserPrecision_⁩ to help produce custom parts for class hibachi grill projects. Students saw fiber laser cuts parts from 1/4 plate steel, learned about robotic welding & career options. #CTEMonth #D127GetsREAL ⁦

February is CTE Month. .@Grayslake127 will raise awareness of Career & Technical Education (CTE) & its role in readying our students for careers & college. This month will also highlight partnerships & economic impacts through our student's achievements. #CTEMonth
