To deepen student learning in manufacturing, Learning Undefeated has designed three in-classroom high school activities that are offered as part of the Manufacture Your Path program.
These activities – informed by students, teachers, and manufacturing subject matter experts – give students hands-on experience using manufacturing tools as well as exposure to real-work application of these essential skills in the manufacturing industry.
Join one of our virtual professional development sessions to gain access to our loaner activity kits, which include materials for classes of up to 30 students.
Activities Include:
- Design for Manufacturing | In this activity, students are introduced to the work of engineers in the manufacturing field and are challenged to design a custom part for a new product. Students choose the correct tools to gather precise measurements as well as create a code to print the design with a 3D pen. Skills Focus: Design, measurement, and programming.
- Lean Manufacturing | In this activity, students are introduced to the concept of lean manufacturing as they work in an airplane manufacturing plant. Students will be challenged to identify waste in different steps of their production process and will be given multiple opportunities to modify the process to improve efficiency. Skills Focus: Problem solving, communication, and data driven decision making.
- Metrology | In this activity, students are introduced to metrology: the science of measurement. Using metric and English rulers as well as precision calipers, students will learn the difference between precision and accuracy and how both play an important role in the manufacturing industry. Skills Focus: Using measurement tools, and precision measurement.
