SUMMARY: Across the country, there's a skilled worker shortage, particularly in advanced manufacturing. To address this, EDAA Community College sponsors the Tech to Go camp, now in its 16th year, which provides high school students with hands-on experience in modern manufacturing. Originating in Northeast Mississippi, the camp has expanded statewide and nationwide. Seventeen students attended this year, creating their own aluminum name plates, metal clocks, and spray-painted plaques. The camp aims to expose students to potential career paths in the industry, which has evolved beyond its “greasy and dirty” past. Teachers also participated to gain insights into advanced manufacturing.

16th annual Tek 2 Go Camp hopes to encourage high school students to head toward manufacturing career path.

SUMMARY: Music Monday continues in Jackson with a band introducing themselves: JD on guitar, Bobby on vocals, and Lacy on bass. The band's name, “Kicking,” is derived from a song by their favorite band, Torch. Their music style blends '90s grunge, alternative, and rock, described as “heavy music you can dance to.” They hail from various places but have made Jackson their home, contributing to the local music scene. They frequently play at venues like CS's Burger Joint and other spots around Jackson. The band's eight-year longevity is attributed to stubbornness and strong foundations of friendship among the members.
