Tech It Out! The Game Show

The teams included Lindsey Longstreth, Industrial Technology Teacher at West Leyden High School in Illinois and Ted Rozier, Director of Engineering at Festo competing against Billy McFarland, Advanced Manufacturing Program Coordinator, Wilbur Wright College, Humboldt Park, Chicago (one of the Chicago City Colleges) and Melanie Lang, Co-Founder and CEO, FormAlloy. The teams competed for cash prizes totaling nearly $5,000 with funding provided through Miles for Manufacturing.
