Our state student competition brings together student projects from around the state to compete in various categories from woodworking to electronics and machining. Each year roughly three thousand student projects are entered with students earning over eight thousand dollars in scholarships to college/universities, trade schools and apprenticeship programs.

At this same time we host our yearly professional development conference in which teachers from around the state can attend sessions put on by both vendors and other educators. Teachers can learn new teaching methods and techniques or learn about new equipment and how to use it effectively in the classroom/shop.
