OUT OF THE WASTELANDS... THEY CAME.

Fueled by determination, questionable engineering decisions, and just enough battery power to be dangerous...

The students in Mr. Jenkins' electrical class are preparing for ROBOT WARS... sorta.

Tiny machines, with 1,200mAh of pure destruction!

Soon these custom-built combat vehicles will battle for glory, bragging rights, and absolute classroom legend status.

The arena is ready.

The drivers are talking trash.

The countdown has begun.

ROBOT WARS... Sorta — COMING SOON

Thank you Huckins Yacht Corporation!

A special thank you to the team at Huckins Yacht Corporation for hosting our J-Tech Marine and RV students during their recent field trip. We appreciate the opportunity to learn from industry professionals and see craftsmanship in action.

Meanwhile in the Welding & Fabrication Lab...

Jack Meurer. 5G position. 6010 rod.

No shortcuts. Just skill, practice, and sparks.

Think you've got what it takes?

Advanced Aluminum Welding with a Push-Pull MIG System

In this video, Mr. Waters demonstrates a push-pull MIG welding system while welding aluminum. Unlike a traditional spool gun, a push-pull setup uses both the wire feeder and the gun to move the wire smoothly through the system, providing more consistent feeding, better control, and increased productivity.

Push-pull systems are widely used in professional fabrication environments where weld quality and efficiency are critical. By training with advanced equipment and techniques, J-Tech students gain valuable exposure to the tools they may encounter in the field.

From foundational skills to industry-standard technology, Mr. Waters' class is helping students build the knowledge and experience needed for successful careers in welding and fabrication.
