⏰ All day
🌎 Madison Area Technical College – True X Campus 1701 Wright St, Madison, WI 53704

Thanks to Bergstrom Automotive for agreeing to bring an array of electric cars and participate in the career fair!

Exact details have yet to be announced. Typically, there are six to seven classrooms where a subject related to energy is discussed (solar, robotics, etc.) WCC’s classroom will be about Electric Vehicle Technology. Our classroom is usually held in the Auto Tech Classroom/Shop or outside. In the past, an average of 150 kids from surrounding schools converged on Madison Area Technical College. Brief presentations are held in the auditorium to kick off the event. After that, groups of about 20-30 students are assigned to each classroom. There are 6 to 7 rotations, 25 minutes each, starting around 9:30 am. Each group has at least one or more “teachers” and a “guide”. The guide keeps time and helps the group transition to the next station. The teachers for WCC are usually from an auto dealership, power utility, and the local workforce board.  Each teacher has about 3-5 minutes to tell the students about careers in their field (auto techs, designers, fuel providers, salespeople, etc. and the skills needed for those jobs).  The purpose of the presentations is to get the youth thinking about careers.  We then let the kids explore the cars brought to the event.  They get to sit in the vehicles and look under the hood, etc.  It is one of the more exciting classrooms for the kids because it’s quite hands-on.

A full agenda will be forthcoming as we get closer to the date.
