Technical Skills Challenge 2010

119 high school students from the region participated in the 7th Annual Technical Skills Challenge at the Canby Campus of Minnesota West Community and Technical College. Students participated in Digital Photography, Solar Sprint Car Racing, and Team and Individual Welding competitions. The Tech Skills Challenge offers students an opportunity to demonstrate the skills they've learned in school and make the connection to how those skills are used by industry. The competitions are designed and judged by local businesses. This year's partners were SMI and Hydraulics, American Welding, and Up North Images.
