News Center 7’s Xavier Hershovitz said that Kettering City Schools got almost a $3 million grant to make this happen.
The superintendent told News Center 7 that students will learn from industry leaders while using state-of-the-art equipment.
The purpose is to prepare students to graduate and step into high-demand careers.
“Having an opportunity like this, where I can come in and I’m excited to make something, and I can use my own hands, and we have computers in there that are very nice and very fun to use, and I just think it’s amazing,” said Sadie Lee, senior at Fairmont High School.
“This is the newest technology being used in today’s industry, and so they’re going to have experience on that they could take and start immediately somewhere else,” said Brett Jenkins, engineering instructor.
Part of the program’s goal is to not only set students up for success after they graduate, but also to create a strong local workforce with these unique skills.
