Middle and High School Students Don't  Miss This!

An exciting opportunity for middle and high school students is coming to the Science & Technology Education Innovation Center (Science Center). Together with its partners, the Florida Manufacturing Extension Partnership (Florida MEP) and John Ratzenberger’s to introduce "cool manufacturing" to over 1,000 students in the Pinellas region.

Students will be introduced to an innovative production system called “Lean Manufacturing.” The Florida MEP will host this half-day event in a fast-paced, action-packed role-playing environment in which students will become “employees” of a “company” that manufactures clocks. The process starts in total chaos with students scrambling to get clocks made; it ends in organized functions that let students produce hundreds of clocks, running the company on their own. The students take away:

  • Knowledge of how the products they use every day are produced
  • An understanding of the importance of standardized work
  • An ability to accurately read instructions and work in a timely manner
  • An awareness of the processes that impact their daily lives
  • The skills to set measureable goals and action plans for school projects
  • More options to apply when the time comes to choose a career

 Register will soon be open please check back for details. 
 

The Science Center is looking for additional members to join our Volunteer Group.  If your passionate about education, we want YOU!  Volunteer opportunities include: Community Liaison, Workshop Assistance, Fundraising, Family Events and Much More. Please contact Shelly at 727.384.0027 ext for more information.
