Students鈥� Welding Skills Showcased at Steel Picasso Welding Competition

When it comes to getting a quality education, you need to keep things fun. It is certainly important to learn the foundations and hard skills, but unless you keep things interesting it is easy to burn out. Bringing some friendly competition into the mix is a surefire way to keep things fresh, especially if it includes an extra dose of creativity. The Welding program students of the added an element of both with a Steel Picasso Welding competition on Monday, March 2nd.
