    Forging Futures: Metal Casting Summer Youth Program Sparks Interest in Metallurgical Careers

    Along with campfire cookware and bronze coins, high school students cast an eye on potential careers in metalworking during Metal Casting: Forge Your Future — a brand-new experience offered through Michigan Technological University's popular Summer Youth Programs. Offered by Michigan Tech's Summer Youth Programs (SYP) for the first time this summer, Metal Casting: Forge Your Future was developed in partnership with The Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation's (IACMI's) national Metallurgical Engineering Trades Apprenticeship & Learning (METAL) program, and Tech's Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). The department is home to Michigan Tech's metal foundry — one of the few fully operational metal foundries in the nation found on a college campus. The facility, MSE's departmental expertise, and the University's ability to partner with METAL created the perfect setup for getting pre-college students excited about the science and art of metal casting and forging.
