Fermilab summer program visits COD tech labs, classrooms

Danny Zhuang (center), a student at Metea Valley High School in Naperville, receives some tips on finishing his aluminum chess piece from Jim Filipek (right), associate professor of Manufacturing Technology at College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn.

The high school students are involved with Quarknet, the summer program at Fermilab that is funded by the National Science Foundation.

They toured state-of-the-art labs and classrooms in COD's Technology Education Center and made their own chess pieces.
