Baden Aniline & Soda Factory (BASF) is the largest chemical producer in the world, and has partnered with ChattState to offer its Tech Academy summer program. BASF Tech Academy will introduce high school students to technical and craft careers through skills classes, workshops and industry tours. Beginning the week of June 9, participating students will be given the opportunity to explore a wide range of science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM)-related career field opportunities through hands-on learning with industry professionals.

The program will show participants what it is like working as an operator, instrument technician, maintenance technician, lab technician, welder, and many other jobs.

"TECH Academy delivers engaging educational experiences, combining in-depth classroom learning with tours of local facilities, while drawing on the expertise of manufacturing industry leaders to help students explore the various technical career options that lie ahead," said Shelly King, site director at BASF's Chattanooga site.

Topics such as engineering practices, 3D printing, mechatronics, and robotics are explored in classroom and in-field settings. Tours will include BASF’s Chattanooga facility and other employers in the Chattanooga area.

The program, fully funded by BASF, is free for students and is part of BASF’s science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education and workforce development efforts.
