STEAM Career Fair

Leave a comment

We went to the Mounds View High School STEAM Career Fair where we were introduced to different fields of study. While we were there we talked to several companies including the construction company that is currently remodeling our school. We also talked to TESLA works which is a group of makers from the U of M that provides facilities and tools for makers. After visiting the Fair, we went to see the Mounds View FRC team and got the opportunity to drive their robot.

Conquest Engineering

One day during the building process of the lander we discovered we needed some metal pipes threaded. So, we went to a local engineering company called Conquest Engineering. There, they showed us how to tap the pipes and then we got to do it ourselves. They took us into the machine shop and we got to use their tapping machine. We tapped all eight of the pipes we need. They were really nice and we hope that they will be sponsors in the future.
