While at the Center, the students were given a presentation in the ACAWT's media classroom in which they were taught information about Alabama's largest industry, and were shown various multimedia devices used in ACAWT research and industrial training.  Also, the students were taken on acawt.org's virtual tour via the classroom's large projection screen.

After the virtual tour, the students were taken on an actual tour of the ACAWT's solid wood and panel products labs.  This tour taught the students about some of the equipment used in industrial woodworking and some of the opportunities that exist for employment in the industry.

Two lucky students won drawings for wooden pens; these pens were turned on a CNC lathe that the students got to see in action as part of the virtual tour.
