⚙️ Building the Future, One Robot at a Time 🤖

Portsmouth Naval Shipyard was proud to host local robotics teams for the fifth annual Robotics Expo and celebrate a season of innovation, teamwork and leadership. Congratulations to all the teams on their success.

Today’s robotics students are tomorrow’s engineers, innovators and problem-solvers helping power the future of the Navy mission.

Mark your calendar, we will be at UNH as part of NE FRC District Competition on 3/28/2026 and 3/29/2026.

Come watch us compete at UNH. No entrance fee.

Yes, we need more engineers to help solve all the future hard problems but without the tradesmen and tradewomen to help make our dreams and solutions into reality, they are just pretty drawings.

🚨 The 2025 Annual Blue Collar Report is here! 🚨

With rising costs, shaky job markets, and AI changing everything, more families are asking: What does real job security look like?

This year’s report shows a growing belief among Gen Z and their parents that the trades are a smart, stable choice. But old-school views and low awareness are still keeping most students stuck in a college-first mindset 🤔

The future is hands-on, and the trades deserve the spotlight.

📊 A few highlights:
🔹 Only 16% of Gen Z’s parents believe a college degree guarantees long-term job security
🔹 77% of Gen Z want a career that’s tough to automate
🔹 72% of Gen Z parents have talked to their kids about how automation could impact their careers
🔹 But only 7% say they’d prefer their kid to go into the trades—old perceptions are still winning out

Let’s show Gen Z that the trades aren’t backup plans. They’re a path to security and success!
