More than 70 girl students between the ages of 12 and 14 from six South Yorkshire, UK,
secondary schools took part in a design and technology challenge that gave them an
insight into the huge career opportunities in engineering.
The MasMicro ‘Engineering for Girls’ day was organised by Sheffield Hallam University
in association with NAMTEC (National Metals Technology Centre) and held at Swinden
House in Rotherham.
Students were specially selected who had shown an interest in science and engineering
subjects.
The challenge they were set was to design and produce a bubble blower, which the
pupils manufactured on the day from Perspex.
This involved practical engineering techniques, such as soldering, shaping and
moulding the product as well as testing their IT, design and marketing skills.

With the new equipment, Třinecké will be able to produce bar coils from 16mm in

steels – high-alloyed and micro-alloyed steels as well as cold heading grade steel.
Attached to Třinecké’s pre-existing bar mill, the bar in coil outlet will also be capable
of producing small lots of half-weight coils up to 2 tons.
The contract also includes the supply of two strap compactors and a belly banding
