LASER LADIES OF STEM AT MILWAUKEE TOOL!!! The ladies had an inspiring visit to Milwaukee Tool this week. They were welcomed by a group of talented women who shared their personal journeys and passion for engineering, offering a firsthand look at what it’s like to build a career in STEM. During the visit, students toured and received a sneak peak into the company’s Rapid Prototyping Lab, took part in hands-on, STEM-focused activities and were led on a fascinating tour that highlighted the growth of this amazing company. The hands-on tool use was a great experience for all. They were introduced to the concept of “disruptive innovation”—not just improving existing tools, but transforming how they work altogether. The group also explored how advances in artificial intelligence are shaping the future of tools, allowing them to respond more intuitively to users. The highlight of the trip was a Q&A session with a panel of female engineers. Our students asked thoughtful, insightful questions about career paths and decision-making, demonstrating both maturity and strong critical thinking skills. It was a proud moment to see their curiosity and confidence on display.
