St. John’s students will participate in Foundry in a Box. This program is possible through the American Foundry Society (AFS) West Michigan Chapter. Foundry in a Box is just what it sounds like. All the essential elements of a working foundry (metal, sand, melting pot, patterns, molds, safety and finishing equipment) are packed up into a box. This unique experience is designed to expose the next generation of workers to Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) and excite them about the many career opportunities in the Foundry Industry.
