Learn to fuse with fire in this world class welding workshop!
SMART (Sheet Metal, Air, Rail, and Transportation) Workers' Local 27 welcome you to try their trade! The trades industry is rapidly evolving, and more women join unions every year! SMART Local 27's Women's Committee is dedicated to creating safe spaces for women within sheet metal, and they want to share the passion they have for their job with you!
Learn all about sheet metal workers, what they do, and how they do it. Go over safety precautions and the importance of maintaining a clean and safe work environment. Tour the state-of-the-art training facility where aspiring sheet metal workers learn to turn a simple sheet of metal into complex systems and install them. Compete head-to-head with your sister Girl Scouts in a virtual reality welding simulator. The player with the highest score will earn a prize! Head on over to one of the best welding training shops in the nation and put your new skills to the test and learn how to weld with the same tools that Sheet Metal apprentices use daily! Girl Scouts will learn and utilize various welding techniques to write their name onto a metal sheet. Participants will be able to complete and take home their very own nameplate.
IMPORTANT: Due to the high temperatures involved in welding, all Girl Scouts must adhere to a certain dress code to participate. NO hoodies or sweatshirts. NO sweatpants or leggings. Girl Scouts should arrive in blue denim jeans and closed toed shoes.
All Girl Scouts will be required to fill out a permission form on the day of before being allowed to weld.
