Recently, St. Leo Catholic School’s 6th-8th grade enrichment students met with Jason Gabler of Advantage Metal Powders to learn about the powdered metal industry.
Students learned the difference between green and wintered parts. Students then took a tour of AMP to learn the process of mixing and testing powdered metals. These St. Leo School students will use this information when they compete in the What’s so Cool About Manufacturing competition.
Created by the Manufacturers Resource Center (MRC) in Allentown, PA in 2013, the annual What’s So Cool About Manufacturing video contests excite students to explore cool manufacturing careers and produce profiles of companies throughout Pennsylvania. Judges in each regional contest bestow a variety of awards, and each contest features an online vote at WhatsSoCool.org for its Viewers Choice Award.
