Successful Inspire Innovation Workshop Held For Southern Nevada Teachers
On April 21 our Section hosted Mr. Bill Nott and Ms. Karen Malesky at our first Inspire Innovation Workshop at the Southwest Career and Technical Center. The audience was filled with teachers from Las Vegas area schools. They were brought together to collaborate with engineers in order to learn about hands-on engineering design with applications for their math, science and social studies classrooms. The event was well attended with about 15 teachers and 15 engineers.

Meet us for a tour of CE Tooling‘s facilities at 5pm on May 31 (2560 W. Brooks Ave., North Las Vegas). Immediately afterward we will be treating you to pizza, appetizers, and the first drink at Big Dog’s Draft House (4543 North Rancho Drive, Las Vegas, 702-645-1404). Please bring a guest.
CE Tooling is a hidden treasure of high-tech manufacturing located right here in the Las Vegas Valley. They make tools and accessories for other industrial manufacturer’s around the world. This tour will be a great way to gain new insight into several metal working operations you have probably never seen in person. The highlight of the tour will probably be their Wire and Sinker EDM machines – very cool tech. Of course they also have one of the largest machine shops in Nevada to go along with their numerous EDM’s.
RSVP is not required, but please send a message to Bill Bruninga (bill@adv-en.com) if you intend to attend to help us get a general head count. Guests are welcome and encouraged.
