Sparks were flying and wheels were spinning, both figuratively and literally at the 9th annual Technical Skills Challenge held at Minnesota West in Pipestone April 6 as area high school students participated in welding, solar sprint car, problem solving, and digital photography competitions. Over 70 students from Canby, Dawson-Boyd, Pipestone, Renville County West, R-T-R, Worthington, and Yellow Medicine East high schools participated.
Minnesota West and the SW/WC Service Cooperative team up each year to offer competitions where students can display their talents in a creative and competitive environment. The competitions are judged and designed by industry professionals and college instructors in order to give students a realistic glimpse into exciting career fields. The competitions often have the added benefit of being a classroom project.
