Description
John Deere and MA Ford would like work with local high school students and have them create a virtual reality CNC machining simulator program for a laptop that local business can take on visit with schools to show the students what is involved with CNC machining.

We have an augmented reality weld simulator for the students to test out their skills and this is very helpful in engaging the students. This project would require the students to work with employees and trainers from John Deere and MA Ford to design and create a portable simulator that the businesses can take with them to explain critical elements of CNC machining to students.

We would like to simulator to provide a machining scenario that could give the student a score on how they did in accomplishing the task. Our goal would be to have this ready as soon as possible for the 19-20 school year.

We are looking for a group of students that have IT coding and computer skills and who are also interested in
understanding manufacturing concepts. A high school student with computer gaming and coding capabilities.
