Student engineers met their future professors and employers at the Paducah Innovation Hub! The Hub connected Tilghman and Paducah Middle students taking engineering classes with colleges like UK School of Engineering and Murray State University. Industry leaders from General Matters and BFW Engineering Consulting showed students where their engineering skills are needed. We see your child's unlimited potential! Your student could be an engineer, too! Contact steve.ybarzabal@paducah.kyschools.us to learn how.
