been used in the upgrading of welding machinery and equipment at all nine of ADSB's secondary schools allowing for the delivery of improved and advanced welding education programs across the district. This means modern, safe, and industry compliant learning environments for ADSB's technology students at Central Algoma Secondary School in Desbarats, Chapleau JK12 School, Elliot Lake Secondary School, Hornepayne JK-12 School, Korah, Superior Heights and White Pines in Sault Ste Marie, Michipicoten High School in Wawa, and W.C. Eaket Secondary School in Blind River. Tenaris President in Canada Ricardo Prosperi and Joe Saundercook, Manager of Fund & Partnership Development with CWBWF, saw their funding dollars in action as they toured an ADSB Grade 12 manufacturing class in Sault Ste Marie on February 27th. They were joined by ADSB Chair Jennifer Sarlo and other special guests, as they observed equipment in use and spoke with staff and students about how the equipment is impacting their teaching and learning. The new equipment is providing more options and greater flexibility for both teachers and students. The tools have allowed for better use of time within shops and an opportunity for students to learn and practice techniques they were unable to on older equipment. Most equipment was installed for the 22/23 school year and is being utilized for classroom training and special events. Recently, one ADSB school organized a metal and wood workshop for female students in grades 7 through 12. The students were introduced to the brand new CNC plasma
