Penn students participate in Manufacturing Day

Penn High School STEM Academy students participated in the fifth annual Manufacturing Day in South Bend experience in October.

The event provided area high school students an opportunity to tour various local manufacturers and meet with current employees to discuss careers in the field.

“Manufacturing Day is a valuable experience for our students to see what manufacturing in the 21st Century looks like and opportunities in our area,” Penn High School Assistant Principal Josiah Parker said. “Students were able to visit the new SF Motors as they prepare to begin production of the new electric car. Students from Penn also visited South Bend Modern Molding, Allied Specialty Precision, B&B Molders, Ivy Tech, Daman Products, and Complexus Medical.”
