Our Mission
The mission of the Butler County Manufacturing Consortium is to identify and meet the developing needs and enhance the growth of all Butler County Manufacturers. We will achieve our mission by working together and partnering with county and state organizations and educational provider.
The Butler County Manufacturing Consortium is proud to sponsor two Kids on Campus summer camps at Butler County Community College for kids in grades 5-8:
Gadgets &Gizmos - Are you a machines and gadgets fanatic? If you like machines and other gadgets that make life interesting, discover what makes them work. Using items from around the house as levers and pulleys, as well as fun building kits, investigate a career in manufacturing by discovering what it takes to make gadgets like cranes and even carnival rides! Because the BCMC is subsidizing some of the costs for this class, tuition is only $29.00 (material fee included)
For Grades 5-8 Offered July 6-10
.........................................................
Get Wired! - Lights, refrigerators, televisions and computers all run on electricity - but where does electricity come from? What else can electricity do besides provide power? Discover the power behind electricity with experiments and research about investigations from the past to the present. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb; what might you invent? Because the BCMC is subsidizing some of the costs for this class, tuition is only $29.00 (material fee included)
For Grades 5-8 Offered July 13-17
