MFG Day is celebrated on October 2nd. Also referred to as “Manufacturing Day”, MFG Day is an opportunity to bring manufacturers together to address collective challenges that will allow future generations and their communities to thrive. Over the next decade, manufacturers will need to fill 4.6 million high-tech, high-skill, and well-paying jobs. Edge Factor has been supporting this important day for the past 5 years. This year, to help inspire community leaders, students, educators, and parents, they have developed the Rock MFG Day STEAM Experience.

Edge Factor Supports MFG Day

Using their signature high impact media, Edge Factor takes students on a journey “behind closed doors” to meet with manufacturers and learn more about the technology that makes everything come together. This virtual solution is even more relevant to the current challenges many educators face with the need for e-learning. In partnership with ABB, they have announced the “2020 Rock MFG Day: STEAM Experience”. If you’d like to offer this program to your students, please contact Studica for more information.

2020 Rock MFG Day: STEAM Experience

As we approach MFG Day, this STEAM Experience will provide five days of high impact media resources that allow students to virtually experience different workplaces, explore career pathways, and learn soft skills. Plus, it is all done through a STEAM perspective (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). On Day 5, the official MFG Day, participants will be able to join LIVE keynote presentations (for USA & Canada). These inspiring presentations about the power of manufacturing will be given by passionate leaders in the industry. Contact Studica to get started.

“Edge Factor has been promoting MFG Day celebrations since I sat on the board in 2015. No doubt that COVID-19 has created a new normal for industry, schools, communities, and families and many have asked me, ‘We can’t open our doors this year, so what do we do?’ Edge Factor and ABB stand ready to help and we want to provide simple ways for communities to celebrate who they are and what it is that they manufacture.” – Edge Factor Founder & Host, Jeremy Bout
