Ninth-grade students that attend the Valley STEM + ME2 Academy were able to recently tour the Humtown Additive.

The students were led by their classmates with their peers Sophia Elia and Taylor Perry, who were selected to learn Humtown’s additive manufacturing process in order to teach their peers when they came to the facility.

“We are so grateful for Mr. Lamoncha and the rest of the team at Humtown for creating such a unique, hands-on learning experience for our students,: said Melanie Brock, English instructor at Valley STEM Academy. “It was really fulfilling to see the students practice their STEM skills in an authentic environment– they had the biggest smiles on their faces the entire time. ”
