Welcome!
WorldSkills 2009
in Calgary shows that "the kids are (still) alright"
 Manufacturing
may take a backseat
with certain politicians, but there is no denying the enthusiasm of the
young people from around the globe that gathered in Calgary earlier this
month for WorldSkills 2009.
Competitions such as WorldSkills, FIRST Robotics, LEGO League, Formula
SAE, CFPA Technology Challenge and countless regional events at high
schools, colleges and universities make technical careers much more
understandable and desirable to those that participate.
DPN dispatched reporter Carolyn Yates and videographer Jim
Stubbington to Calgary for an intimate look at the proceedings in
Calgary's Stampede Park facility. For several days, they hoofed it from
one end of the complex to the other, interviewing category experts in
competitions from Mechatronics to Mobile Robotics. They also collared
events sponsors such as Festo, Autodesk, Fluke Electronics & Fluke
Networks, and Altium.
Please check out the

library, and those of our sister publications
Canadian Electronics,
Metalworking Production & Purchasing,and
Electrical Business for a
complete picture of WorldSkills 2009.
