"Over the past three years we’ve been able to engage, inspire, and ignite a passion for advanced manufacturing and engineering technology to thousands of kids.” stated Augusta Technical College President Dr. Jermaine Whirl. “We look forward to continuing this tradition this year with our fellow manufacturers to showcase the many career opportunities available to them throughout the CSRA."

The Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Technology Night annually showcases to the CSRA the great Manufacturing and Industry that is right here in our area. This evening provides K-12 students throughout the CSRA and their parents a unique look into the world of STEM education and opportunities.
