Unadilla Valley High School is making vast strides in implementing the SME PRIME (Partnership Response in Manufacturing Education) program since being temporarily thrown off course by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Airport Community School District recognized the rapidly changing innovations in the field of technology and has made a conscious effort to incorporate technology into educational programs to empower students to reach their goals.

Students at Apollo High School — in St. Cloud, Minnesota — will be better able to discover and pursue career opportunities in the manufacturing field with the school’s new SME PRIME (Partnership Response in Manufacturing Education) program.

The SME Education Foundation and its partners Stratasys and Tooling U-SME demonstrated advanced manufacturing technology to more than 11,000 students, teachers and administrators at the IMTS Smartforce Student Summit, held in September at McCormick Place in Chicago.

A recent scholarship from the SME Education Foundation is helping Suraju Lawal, a 41-year-old aircraft mechanic, pursue his dream of being an aviation design engineer.
