Fifty-four students competed in three different timed<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">competitions, including gas metal arc welding (GMAW), shielded metal arc welding (SMAW),<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">and oxyfuel cutting (OFC).

This allowed students the chance to get their first interaction with potential<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">future employers. The event also included multiple drawings for various welding equipment and<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">supplies to help students at the early stages of their careers. Students were given tickets at the<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">door and could win more competing in welding trivia competition. Guest speaker District 15<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Director Dale Szabla also spoke to them about the importance of AWS and how it helps build a<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">safer, stronger world. He also awarded a $1000 scholarship to one of the contestants, Rhys Boser.<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Many students left with great pride and learned the importance of performing well under<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">pressure. All in all, the event was an excellent way for students to make connections, test their<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">abilities, and work under
