DESCRIPTION:EVENT IS FULL!!!  \n\n\n\nWe are truly sorry to have to close registration for this event\, but for the safety of the students and attendees already registered\, we need to cap registration. So sorry! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n2025 TMAC Metroplex Manufacturing Day isn’t just another campus visit\, it’s a full (electric) throttle\, hands-on\, career-connected experience designed to get students excited about what’s possible in modern manufacturing. \n\n\n\nIf you’re an instructor looking to show students how their interests connect to real careers\, this is the event for you. And If you’re a manufacturer\, you’ll see tomorrow’s workforce in action\, meet instructors who are shaping talent\, and learn how to bring the Werk Wagon to your own facility. \n\n\n\nWe’re loading up the coolest tech\, the sharpest minds\, and the most useful career exploration tools this side of the shop floor. \n\n\n\nJoin the Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center (TMAC) and Impact Center Arlington as we bring together students and manufacturers to network and learn about the new innovations that are available in manufacturing careers. Registration is free for attendees! \n\n\n\nWhat’s Happening at the Event? \n\n\n\n\nThe Werk WagonA mobile\, modifiable\, tech-packed training lab that brings automation\, robotics\, and industrial maintenance training directly to your school or facility. Touch it\, walk through it\, picture it pulling up to your parking lot. It’s a full manufacturing classroom on wheels.\n\n\n\nMozeeExperience a driverless\, electric\, multi-passenger vehicle developed right here in North Texas. Mozee’s a hit with students and manufacturers alike and a great way to show how automation\, AI\, and how software meets the shop floor.\n\n\n\nWorkforce Solutions for Tarrant County – VR Goggle ExperienceStep into a virtual job site.
