Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In support of National Manufacturing Day on October 2, America Makes, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute, is launching a nationwide series of hands-on “3D Printing for Drones” experiences designed to introduce high school students to the exciting intersection of 3D printing, also referred to as additive manufacturing (AM), engineering, and drone technology.
Building upon the success of a recent summer camp hosted at Missouri University of Science and Technology, and held in collaboration with Innovate Learning, America Makes is expanding the concept to engage students across the country through immersive Design + Build + Fly activities. The initiative reflects the Institute’s commitment to strengthening the future manufacturing workforce through its Education and Workforce Development (EWD) pillar.
The half-day Manufacturing Day experiences will be held in five states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Alabama, and California.
