MTHS Enrichment Opportunities

Robotics WorX Program

Posted on September 4, 2024

The Automation Engineering Mini Job Shadow is an opportunity for high school STEM students looking to take their education outside of the classroom and gain real world experience with automation and robotics technologies. (There is also an Internship Opportunity – please click on the link for more information and select Internship under Inspire Lancaster to learn more about this opportunity.)

The high school students will get to work alongside our team of high school interns, college engineering students, and Precision Cobotics Professional Staff. They will be experiencing whatever is going on in our lab that day as our full-time employees work to solve real world automation problems.
Students will get to experience a taste of what the life of an Automation Engineer is like. This experience is a phenomenal opportunity for high school students because they will be working with and around students of similar age. The lab is also located at Millersville University, so students will also get to experience not only the work environment but also the dynamics of a college campus.

Students will gain valuable experience in:

Robotics
Manufacturing
Drafting/CAD
Coding/Programming
Problem Solving
Teamwork
While attending their Mini Job Shadow students will also get to see surrounding labs located at Millersville University.

These labs include:

CADD
Automation/EPT
Print Production
Electronics
Innovation
Metals
Polymers/Ceramics
Wood

The Mini Job Shadow will be 3 hours a day. Students may return to the lab for multiple days if scheduling allows it.
