SparkForce Summer Manufacturing Camp on Virtual Reality Welding at Pierpont Community & Technical College

At this camp, students will be able to gain insight and experience with welding practices. They will practice the discipline using Pierpont’s Virtual Reality (VR) Welding labs and learn from our instructors.

As a tool for welding training, virtual reality delivers the best of all worlds. It provides students with an immersive experience, establishes an inclusive and supportive learning platform, and sustains a student’s interest with realistic visual and auditory components.

  • Welding Safety and PPE (personal protective equipment)
  • Practical Application of Welding
  • GMAW (gas metal arc welding) aka MIG welding
  • SMAW (shielded metal arc welding), aka stick welding
  • Entrepreneurship

Camp attendees will earn certificates for each area of training completed:

  • Welding Safety
