Please join SME Education Foundation and East Jackson Secondary School to celebrate the launch of the SME PRIME program at East Jackson Secondary School. The Mechatronics and Robotics program at East Jackson Secondary School is part of the six-million-dollar appropriation from the State of Michigan to the SME Education Foundation to develop SME PRIME across the state.
Since 2011, the SME Education Foundation’s Partnership Response in Manufacturing Education (SME PRIME) program has partnered with local manufacturers and high schools to build tailored manufacturing/engineering programs across the country. The SME PRIME program provides equipment, curriculum, professional development, scholarships and STEM-focused extracurricular activities to students and teachers.
Nationwide, the SME Education Foundation provides hands-on manufacturing and engineering education to more than 93 schools in 23 states. In Michigan, East Jackson Secondary School is one of 33 SME PRIME programs.
During this event, you will be able to hear from Foundation representatives, school officials, state legislators, and students, who recognize the importance of manufacturing and engineering education. You will also be able to tour the new SME PRIME manufacturing lab.
