Construction and Trades Discovery Day
March 20, 2025
The Admissions team hosted nearly 140 high school students yesterday for Construction Management and Trades Day, the latest event in our popular Discovery Day series. These free, 3-hour events connect visiting students with current Franklin Cummings Tech students and faculty for hands-on activities, engaging campus tours, lunch, and prizes. Discovery Days are held on our campus at 41 Berkeley Street, Boston.
Students checked out how to build light wiring boards during a visit to one of our Practical Electricity Lighting Labs, learned how our heat pump and refrigeration simulators helps HVAC&R Technology students learn how to install and service these complex systems, and built their own model single-family houses during a visit to the Construction Management lab.
Practical Electricity student Josh Wakim answers students questions in the wiring lab.
Visiting students also met with current FC Tech Construction Management students for informal discussions about their experiences at the college.
Co-op Director Adrienne Palomeque gave an informative presentation about the opportunities for paid Co-ops, which are available to every student enrolled in one of our associate degree programs. The presentation wrapped up with a challenging quiz about the Co-op Program details, with winners receiving fun swag prizes!
