Students from Barack Obama School of Career & Technical Education (BOSCTE) recently visited Lakeshore Technical College (LTC) to start learning how to program Fanuc industrial robots. The visits were a result of a collaborative effort between instructors who met at a SkillsUSA competition earlier this year. BOSCTE Technical Education Instructor Dave Kontz said in a news release that “It’s important for our students to become familiar with the Fanuc robots, which are a whole different robot than what we have back at our school in Milwaukee, because they’ll be better prepared for their technical college education and future in general.” Nathan Mason, a senior at BOSCTE, said, “My favorite part is that I like getting a feel for the robot. It’s challenging, but I’m getting the hang of it.”
