(MARSHALL) – Texas State Technical College in Marshall will host a welding competition for area high school students from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 1.<\/p>\n
The event, now in its third year, offers young students a way to showcase their welding talents.<\/p>\n
“They can get some more hands-on practice,” said TSTC lead welding instructor Danny Nixon. “Other than that, they’ll have a good time and they can show off what they’ve learned throughout the year.”<\/p>\n
Nixon said students will use oxyfuel cutting, fluxcored arc welding, and shielded metal arc welding techniques. One hundred students participated in the event last year.<\/p>\n
Freshman and sophomores compete in the junior division and juniors and seniors in the senior division.<\/p>\n
Students competing will build a 6-by-6-inch structure named the “Stairway to Welding.”<\/p>\n
TSTC is registering now for the fall semester. The last day to register is Monday, Aug. 20, and classes begin Monday, Aug. 27.<\/p>\n
