Technical Presentations:
“Engineering Academy Polymer Testing Course at Stow-Monroe Falls High School”
David Helmick, Engineering Academy Polymer Testing Instructor, Stow-Munroe Falls High School.
Students in the Academy learn about Polymers, CAD, electronics robotics programming, and manufacturing industries. Mr. Helmick is also starting a new career program at Stow High school titled Modern Manufacturing for Employment; which focuses on training junior students about manufacturing practices and gets them placed at jobs their senior year to leave school to begin work in the manufacturing field. Mr. Helmick is currently looking for companies to partner with to help employers with developmental talent.
Mr. Helmick‘s initial partnership with the Ohio Rubber Group began when ORG donated two new lab bench workstations to the polymers lab at Stow. This turned unused lab space into valuable learning space for the students which proved significantly beneficial during Covid to allow social distancing to take place.
