Application [document must be completed in its entirety, including signatures] District Grant Project Title: Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab Primary Contact s Rotary Club: Name: Bob Russell Fergus Falls, MN Noon Phone: (B): 218-998-6400 : 218-205-6944 (H): 218-736-6220 (F): 218-998-6404 Email: rrussell@prtel.com Mentor s Name: Phone: Email: Date Submitted Estimated Timeline September 1-30, 2015 SECTION 1: PROJECT DESCRIPTION Explanation: District Grants support the humanitarian service projects of Rotary clubs and districts. In this section, describe in detail the humanitarian need your project will address, the intent of the project, how the project will be implemented, and how Rotarians will be directly involved in the project. Rotarian involvement is required and a one year timeline is requested (start to finish). Please provide the name of the project site, the city or village, state or province, and country. List multiple locations, if applicable. Project site: Kennedy Secondary School City / Village: Fergus Falls State / Province: Minnesota Country: U.S.A. Describe how the benefiting community will maintain this project after grant funding has been fully expended. Project will benefit local school district (Independent School District 544 or ISD 544) which has committed to on-going upkeep and maintenance. Describe specific activities of the benefiting community partners in implementing the project. How will the Rotarians who are members of the partner clubs be involved the project? Please note that financial support is not considered active involvement. (See the District Grant application instructions for suggestions.) Need to modernize school facilities utilized for instruction in graphic arts, carpentry, auto mechanics, electronics, photography, drafting, small engines and woodworking was identified in summer of 2013 and task force was formed by the two Rotary clubs in Fergus Falls to document the need, determine the scope of the Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab ( M²L² ) overall project, set up budget and timeline, raise funds, provide manual assistance where needed, and insure completion of this project. Task Force populated RI District 5580 District Grant Proposal-Application: Page 1 of 11

with members from both clubs and representatives of school system, city and local manufacturers. Total project was originally projected to take three years and to cost $344,277; budget was revised to $317,485 to eliminate 10% contingency of budgeted equipment purchases of $277,777 and to reflect actual expenditures. Rotary Clubs of Fergus Falls initially contributed $10,000 to effort. Entire project has raised all funds needed through cash and pledges save and except all the money needed to purchase the last item budgeted to be purchased. There is enough cash on hand to purchase one vertical mill now and with remaining pledges, when received, and approval of this request for $3,250 and the Fergus Falls Rotary clubs contributing $3,250, to fund the second vertical mill at a cost of $32,887, which would be purchased no later than beginning of 2016-17 school year. Total cost of second vertical mill will be $32,887, as reflected by cost estimate attached, and, as referenced, we are short $6,500 to purchase it. Spec sheet for vertical mill also attached. SECTION 2: PROJECT BUDGET Explanation: For detailed information on what TRF will fund, please see The Guide to Matching Grants (144-EN). Official RI exchange rates can be found at www.rotary.org/en/aboutus/sitetools/downloadlibrary/pages/ridefault.aspx. Please use the most recent rate. Your estimated costs below must include quotes from a bona-fide vendor if costs for items exceed $100.

RI District 5580 District Grant Proposal-Application: Page 2 of 11

SECTION 3: PROJECT PLANNING Explanation: Before an application is submitted to Rotary International District 5580 GC, project partners should discuss various planning details. The questions below are a guide to aid project planning. Note that a Rotary club/district or Rotarian may not own or benefit from anything purchased with grant funds. Identify who will own equipment and maintain, operate, and secure items purchased with grant funds. (A Rotary club or Rotarian cannot own equipment.) Independent School District # 544 Will training in use and maintenance of technical equipment be provided? If so, who will provide training? Vocational school instructors have been attending training sessions on the Vertical Mill to be purchased, and costs of such training have been deferred through funds raised during the course of the project. Is software necessary to operate any items? If so, has software been provided? Project software has been obtained through other funds raised during the course of the project. Indicate what financial arrangements have been made to pay for this project (i.e. Are you working with other organizations or are Rotarian contributions a part of your funding)? For the overall project, funds were raised from businesses in the area, West Central Initiative, the Veden Trust (which has completed a $120,000 matching grant challenge), other trusts and banks, and the $10,000 already contributed by the two Rotary Clubs of Fergus Falls. The Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab project has raised cash and pledges of $310,985 to date and remaining pledges will be completed in the next year. With the pledges received and yet to be received, we are $6,500 short of the $32,887 needed to purchase the second of two vertical mills needed to fully equip the Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab. Have the sponsor clubs/districts planned and agreed to fund plumbing or electrification for equipment and appliances in existing buildings (hospitals, schools, libraries, orphanages, etc.)? Yes. The initial work done was removing everything from the classroom at the school and upgrading electricity and lighting; no plumbing work was or will be required. Installation of second vertical mill will be done by a factory trained technician (see attached quote from Productivity Inc., which references same). The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. How will this project meet the mission of Rotary Foundation? The Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab was envisioned to enhance educational opportunities available in Fergus Falls, benefiting students, their prospective employers and our own community, as well as other communities in which the students may ultimately work. A key component of enhancing that educational opportunity is having a second vertical mill in place to fully equip the Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab with the equipment necessary to expose as many students as possible to the opportunities available in today s manufacturing environment. Describe the project and the problem or need it will address, including the intended beneficiaries and how the project will benefit the community in need. Provide the estimated length of time needed to complete the project including a START (cannot start prior to July 1 st ) and END DATE. Purpose: The primary goal in the Fergus Falls High School is to prepare students in grades 9-12 for the next step in their life, whether that is college, technical college or full-time employment. Both staff and students are encouraged to stretch their academic, professional and personal abilities by setting high expectations and pursuing them rigorously. The Industrial Technology area offers instruction in graphic arts, carpentry, auto mechanics, electronics, photography, drafting, small engines and woodworking. The west central region of Minnesota is facing unprecedented retirements and shortages of RI District 5580 District Grant Proposal-Application: Page 3 of 11

many technical trade professions, including welders, CNC machinists, electrical technicians, and metal and plastic fabricators. The ability to attract young people into a career in the trades is often dependent on what they get exposed to as students in the secondary school system. The Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab will enhance students experiences in what a career in the trades could be like by providing them an opportunity to learn in a modern setting that will be very similar to what they will experience in the workplace. The machines on which students are taught need to be modern, up-to-date, and be in sync with the industry. Industry trade jobs are a top tier career choice for those who are properly trained. Current ongoing demand for trade-trained workers in west central Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, is nearly 2000 potential employees. The Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab, as originally envisioned and implemented to date, will teach the work skills of computer numeric controlled (CNC) machines, creativity, innovation and accuracy-skills that are in demand by many employers in our area. The goal is to help our students be the next generation of eager, passionate, successful workers and business owners. The vertical mill which the Rotary Clubs of Fergus Falls seek to fully fund through this grant request, is integral to achieving this goal. History: Many schools in Minnesota have abandoned their training for the trades, due to reduced funding for vocational training, and pressure to meet standardize testing achievement in academic subjects. The Fergus Falls Public School, however, has continued to offer classes in the traditional vocational trades, including welding, machining, and electricity since the heyday of vocational education in the 1970s. In fact the Fergus Falls curriculum still requires all students to have some introduction to trade skills. In the last 10 years, there has been a renaissance in manufacturing and an exploding use of technology as a way to make things. Manufacturing used to mean repetitious work requiring minimal skill. Today it s exciting, creative work that requires people with ability and skill to design projects and operate complex machines driven by computers, 3D printers and lasers. Plan: When the Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab project began, the Fergus Falls High School vocational classroom was equipped with 1970s-era welders and metal lathes. Upgrading to a modern manufacturing lab with computer aided machines has been and will be a great benefit to the students. Starting with 9th grade classes, all students will have a chance to experience a modern work environment where their creativity can be unleashed and the excitement of making their ideas come to life will give them the confidence to be innovative in whatever line of work they pursue in the future. The conversion to the Modern Manufacturing Lab is nearly complete, taking less than two years of the originally planned three year project. In the first year we concentrated on improving safety features like installing a commercial-grade non-slip floor coating, improving the welding ventilation system with down draft welding tables. Electrical infrastructure improvements were also made to prepare for new equipment planned as part of the project. The wall and ceiling painting and improved lighting made a remarkable difference in the ambience of the classroom, making it feel like a modern day work setting. We then began acquiring the equipment necessary in a modern day work environment. The list of equipment needed to provide the desired training was developed in consultation with M State College technical trainers, manufacturing engineers and high school instructors. In the spring of 2015, based on the upgrades that have and will be completed to the Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab and the additional training that our vocational teachers have obtained, five teachers designed and received school board approval to start a new curriculum using the Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab. The STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Academy will start this fall with 23 students enrolled as 10 th graders. In each of the next two years, 11 th and 12 th grade students will be added. Students in the STEM Academy, through use of the Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab, will experience a practical application of otherwise abstract academic subjects. The capstone project in the senior year will be to build a high mileage car and compete in regional competition. The students in the STEM Academy are new students to tech classes. All other metal and wood shop classes have maintained their enrollment at approximately 130 students since the project started. In the 2015-16 school year, more than 150 students will use the Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab for some part of their education. The students basic education will be enhanced by 1) project based problem solving; 2) increased application of math concepts; 3) developing technical reading and writing skills; and 4) learning to use modern manufacturing technology that they will experience in a work setting. Curriculum will be redesigned annually to take advantage of the modern equipment. Area manufacturers have already committed to providing mentors in the classroom for students and instructors. The task force that identified the equipment to be purchased included two vertical mills, which produce a product by removing material with a rotating cutting tool. The vertical mills will replace the old milling machines that had hand crank handles and a linear scale to gauge the distance the machine moves. Now those motions are all computer-controlled, which reflects current industry practice. In the student setting, a vertical mill will be used mostly with aluminum and plastic because those two materials are the most forgiving to the tooling (softest). Through this process students will learn the joy of making things and the careers that are available to those skills, giving them exposure to manufacturing and engineering to help guide them in their post-secondary choices. Consideration was given to purchasing one vertical mill and a piece of equipment called the CNC turning center but it was agreed that the continuity of machines in the classroom would be the best for the students learning experience, considering the amount of time they will have in the lab and to maximize the number of students exposed to the process. With the purchase of each machine for use by a learning institution, we will receive a standalone controller; thus, with the second machine there will be able to be two students (or small groups) working on the machine and another two programming at a desktop station. This is only the first school year since the initial upgrades but there are already 21 students attending the STEM classes that will spend considerable time in the Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab. This number is expected to grow and two machines and two extra controllers are necessary to support these numbers. Thus, funding and obtaining the second vertical mill is essential to accomplishing the original goals established for the Modern Manufacturing Learning Lab project. RI District 5580 District Grant Proposal-Application: Page 4 of 11

Once the second vertical mill is obtained, there is already in place a Tech Ed Advisory Committee that serves to instruct the vocational teachers as to the needs of the business community so they can structure their curriculum appropriately. This group, which includes a Rotarian from the Noon Club (Mike Westergard) and one from the Sunrise Club (Evan Westra) has agreed to take on the task of making sure this project, and manufacturing exposure for students in Fergus Falls, stays strong well into the future. They will also be in a position to involve other Rotary members, where needed, to support the ongoing success of the overall project. The anticipated start date for the project is this month, September 2015, with all cash to be received by April 1, 2016, to allow installation of the second vertical mill by the start of the 2016 school year.

In closing I can say with confidence that Haas is a remarkable American machine tool company. We have now installed thousands of Haas machine tools within our territory, and worldwide Haas has installed over 150,000 machine tools. The reason for this growth is that the machines have the features, function, and ease of operation that machinists like, plus they are affordable, accurate and rugged for a wide variety of machining applications. All of the Haas machines are truly made in the USA. They are cast, machined, and assembled here, and the few out-sourced parts are from suppliers local to Haas. Haas is presently building approximately 1400 machines a month from its California plant, and growing. The vast majority of the precision machine tools used at the Haas factory are less than three years old. All Haas machine components go directly from the machining and inspection area on to assembly. At sub assembly, ipads with clear and specific procedures, photos, videos, and the most recent engineering changes aid the workers; which eliminates assembly errors. The spindles are balanced for smooth cutting performance. All machines are test run and inspected, and the results shipped with every machine. The commonality of parts throughout the Haas product line greatly contributes to a reduced cost for the entire machine. Haas machines have the best overall value in the machine tool industry today, and maintain the most value when you re ready to trade for a new Haas. All of the Haas machines are strongly supported at Productivity by a qualified staff of factory trained service technicians and applications engineers ready to serve you from our own "Haas Factory Outlet" including 17 vans stocked with Haas parts to perform a one visit service call. Haas can also ship 99.5% of all needed spare parts the same day. The west coast time zone helps this by 2 additional hours each day.
