National Manufacturing Day 2014!

On Friday, October 3^rd fourteen Nipmuc students and two guidance counselors participated in National Manufacturing Day.  The Blackstone Valley Education Foundation, Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce, and regional high schools partnered with manufacturing companies in the area to give students the opportunity to see manufacturing in action and to learn about careers in manufacturing.  Along with students from Grafton High School, we traveled throughout the valley to three different manufacturing companies.

Our first stop was at Eastern Acoustic Works in Whitinsville.  Eastern Acoustic Works designs, builds, and delivers sounds systems from small speakers for the home to large scale systems for public arenas.  Our guide Matt showed us around the factory and introduced us to EAW’s Anya line.  Anya speakers are used in major sports and concert venues and are currently on tour with Tom Petty.  The speakers hang in columns and can be programmed and controlled from a wireless device to adapt sound for particular venues. 

Our next stop was at Atlas Box and Crating Company in Sutton.  Atlas manufactures all different types of packaging solutions like wood, foam, and corrugated.  They create custom products for their customers with a focus on sustainability.  Our tourguides showed us each area of the factory including a separate part that houses Atlas Pulp Molded Products.  Students were able to see the job opportunities that range from new factory workers in their orange vests to the foreman and supervisors in the control room.

The final stop was at Saint-Gobain Corporation in Northbridge.  Saint-Gobain manufactures a variety of materials including abrasives, ceramics, glass, and crystals.  After a delicious lunch with Saint-Gobain employees and a presentation about the company, students took tours of the facility.  The guides showed students how products are designed, created, and tested for strength and stability. 

Manufacturing Day was certainly a success for the Nipmuc students who participated.  Check out the video below to see more about our day!
