Critical temperature Teen welders ignite skills
HUTTO — Teen welders from about 20 high schools competed in the second annual Texas High School Welding Series regional event at the Texas State Technical College east Williamson County campus Friday, Jan. 24.
The 178 students participated in cutting contests, certification tests — ranging from levels one through four — and underwater welding.
In addition to putting their welding skills to the test, over 20 scholarship opportunities were open for students interested in attending technical schools such as The Ocean Corporation School and Precision Welding Academy in Houston, Lincoln Tech in Grand Prairie, Tulsa Welding School in Oklahoma and Arclabs Welding School, which has Houston and Fort Worth branches.
