Fort Atkinson Campus Hosted Wisconsin Farms Themed Metal Mania
Metal fabrication and welding shape our world, fusing metals with skill and dedication, leaving lasting impressions with their craftsmanship and unwavering commitment.
Madison College’s Fort Atkinson campus, with its newly renovated welding and metal fabrication space, hosted the annual Metal Mania on Saturday, May 18 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event highlighted the Fort Atkinson Metal Fabrication with Welding Bolt-On program where students earn two degrees in one year.
Metal Mania featured a thrilling six-team Metal Fabrication and Welding competition. This year, the competition theme revolves around Wisconsin Farms, promising awe-inspiring sculptures from our talented competitors. Among the competing teams were students from the Fort Atkinson, Johnson Creek, and Marshall School Districts, Madison College students, and community members.
Attendees had the opportunity to watch laser, welding, and blacksmith demos throughout the day. There was something for everyone to enjoy, including meeting Madison College mascot Wolfie, engaging in games for all ages, and savoring delicious food.
