The Youth Welding Workshop provides a unique opportunity for youth ages 10-18 to develop their arc welding (stick or SMAW) skills or their oxyacetylene welding and cutting skills. Through one-on-one assistance students are able to begin their own level and progress their skills throughout the day. In addition to the skill work, all participants will first attend a safety session then spend the rest of the day in the welding lab. This workshop is open to any youth! This workshop provides an excellent interactive opportunity for those completing the 4-H Arcs & Sparks project.

Your registration includes: 3 welding specimens (two at our facility and one to take home)

Welding related supplies Welding technique handouts
