Manufacturing Magic
Want a glimpse inside the exciting world of manufacturing?
Welcome to Manufacturing Magic from STEM²D!
Our Manufacturing Magic videos open the door for students, parents, and teachers to take a look at the many facets of manufacturing, from the production of medical and pharmaceutical products like drugs and medications to replacement knees. Female workers in the field explain how factories work and share their career development paths in this field, which includes robotics, supply chain management, 3D printing, scientific research, process engineering, computer science, operations support, design/drafting, and more. You’ll also hear from a young female apprentice who worked in manufacturing engineering as a student, and you’ll learn about the many careers and roles involved in the high-tech world of manufacturing.
