Day 2 with Vitruvian 3D concrete printing, our students are continuing to gain valuable hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment and innovative technology.
Today, students had the opportunity to learn how to operate the “Scorpion,” gaining real-world experience with advanced robotic equipment that is helping shape the future of construction and additive manufacturing. Experiences like this allow our students to go beyond the classroom and develop skills that directly connect to high-demand careers in robotics, digital construction, and skilled trades.
The future is being built right here at OVCTC, and our students are getting the chance to be part of it.

As we head into the final 6 days of school, every day truly matters!
These last few days are important for celebrating accomplishments, completing end-of-year activities, and helping students feel confident and ready for next year.
You may hear the term “chronic absenteeism.” This means a student has missed about 18 days (or 108 hours) of school over the year—whether those absences are excused or unexcused. This is something that is tracked by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce because regular attendance plays a big role in student success.
Even missing a day or two right now can make a difference—especially for students who are close to that threshold.
We need your help to finish strong!
Let’s work together to make sure students are:
✔️ Present
✔️ Engaged
✔️ Ready to finish the year proud
Remember our motto: Strive for 5—Every Day Counts!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership—together, we can make attendance a priority!
Every day. Every hour. Every student. Every school day counts!

We are excited to partner with Vitruvian 3D Printing!
Vitruvian is pioneering the future of construction through large-scale 3D concrete printing, using advanced robotic technology and specialized materials to transform how homes and buildings are built. Their innovative approach increases efficiency, reduces material waste, and creates durable, energy-efficient, and sustainable building solutions while expanding access to affordable housing across Appalachian Ohio.
Beyond innovation in construction, Vitruvian is deeply committed to education and workforce development by providing hands-on training opportunities for students and adult learners in Robotics, 3D Printing, Digital Masonry, Additive Manufacturing, and Construction. These experiences are helping prepare the next generation for high-demand careers in an ever-evolving industry.
This week, our students have the incredible opportunity to train and build using this cutting-edge technology, and we invite our community to come watch our students showcase what they have learned this Friday. It will be an exciting chance to see the future of construction and advanced manufacturing firsthand while supporting our students as they gain real-world experience with innovative industry technology.
We are proud to partner with organizations that help bridge the gap between education and workforce development while creating opportunities for our students to pioneer their pathways into the future.

Today, more than 2,000 middle school students from across four counties walked through the Brown County Fairgrounds and got a glimpse into their future at Little State STEAM.
With over 100 businesses, schools, and industry partners participating, students were able to explore hands-on activities, ask questions, and discover career pathways they may have never considered before. From precision machining and welding to cosmetology, HVAC, health careers, early childhood education, and other skilled trades, the opportunities were endless.
The best part wasn’t just the displays or activities — it was watching OVCTC students lead, teach, mentor, and connect with younger students who may one day follow in their footsteps. Real students. Real skills. Real opportunities.
At OVCTC, we believe exposure creates opportunity. Kids can’t be what they cannot see — and today they got to see it all. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this incredible event possible and to our students and staff who did an outstanding job representing our programs, school, and community.
