Having lunch and t-shirts for the students provides them with an extra incentive for turning in the necessary paperwork needed for a tour. The t-shirts also serve as a tangible and long-time reminder of the significance of Manufacturing in Florida. And, of course, it all helps put the “fun” in manufacturing.
