It's AMP Lab Day #2 here at UC! Our Penn College of Technology Advanced Manufacturing Pre-Apprenticeship students from UCASD and North East SD worked on several lab activities--one of which challenged them to build and test their own battery-operated motors. Dr. Peter Kuvshinikov from PennWest Edinboro led today's session, and our friends at Snaptite joined us as an industry partner to discuss careers in manufacturing right here in NWPA. Our students asked fantastic questions and excelled at today's activities. #GoBears
Congratulations to our new Union City High School National Honor Society inductees!

Students are always excited to practice their work with Miss Abbey, and our staff love that she's always willing to lend a helping hand.

Thank you, Beaumont Industries, for hosting our PCT Advanced Manufacturing Pre-Apprenticeship students! During this hands-on experience, our students got to watch the engineering and manufacturing process in action as the hosts developed a "Bears" keychain for each student to take home. Students were exposed to a variety of career paths and skillsets needed for success in this industry. This is our first year as part of the NWPA AMP Program Cohort with Penn College of Technology, and we're so excited to see our students get out and meet industry experts. Thank you, Mrs. Colleen Ireland, our Diversified Occupations teacher, for organizing this experience.
Best of luck to our Girls Basketball team as they take on Sharpsville today in the District 10 Playoffs! GO BEARS!
