FESTO MOBILE MECHATRONICS LABORATORY

Recently, North Montco Technical Career Center hosted a visit by the Festo Mobile Mechatronics Laboratory. This Mobile Mechatronics Laboratory is an 80-foot self contained tractor-trailer. The purpose of the visit was to encourage students to increase their awareness of the high technologies used in today's manufacturing and encourage students to pursue careers in these vital industries. Students had the opportunity to tour this Mobile Mechatronics Laboratory and explore the various pneumatic and electromechanical displays.

Students in the Robotics & Automation (Mechatronics) program were particularly interested in touring this “laboratory.” The students had the opportunity to see various applications of the curriculum they are learning in their program.
Staffed with experts in the field of automation, the Festo Mobile Mechatronics Lab is part of a mission to educate companies and schools about energy efficient automation technology and services and the latest advancements that can improve equipment and operational performance.

Class of 2011

North Montco Technical Career Center held their annual Senior Recognition night on Monday, June 6th. Over $8,000 was awarded to the graduating seniors during the awards ceremony. The seniors also received their certificates of completion or participation and will receive their high school diplomas from their sending schools. In addition, the Class of 2011 was offered over $5,000,000 in scholarship and merit grants!

Nick Judge (Precision Machining, Souderton) provided a student address and referred to his fellow graduates as “techies.” Nick pointed out that while although sometimes being called a “techie” can have negative connotations, it is important to remember to take pride in being called a “techie.” “When you are called ‘techies’ take pride in that moment knowing that you made a decision to better yourself as a student and as a person,” said Judge.

Myranda Lewis (Floral Design and Landscaping, Souderton) another student speaker highlighted the accomplishments of the Class of 2011. Lewis reminded the graduates that “success is not a matter of the things you do right; success is about the choices you make in order to get you where you want to go.”

Katlin (Health Occupations, Souderton) and Emily Hash (Graphic Arts, Souderton) spoke about the need to recognize our heroes and become heroes to others while reflecting upon their mother who passed away earlier this year after battling cancer.

The Administration, Faculty and Staff of North Montco Technical Career Center are proud of the Class of 2011 and wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
