This school isn't really related to being a software developer. However, it was a pretty cool experience learning to become a machinist in my senior year of highschool. While attending, we competed in a national event against many challengers across the state. In this competition we were given a blueprint of a cellphone mold. We were tasked with creating toolpaths using cad / cam software. We then had our final product measured and judged. In the end we took 12th in the nation.
