Hey everyone!
Today was super cool! We were invited by one of our awesome sponsors,
E.J. Ajax to get a tour of their metal stamping shop in Fridley, MN! Our team was able to learn more about their company and what they do there. E. J. Ajax is a great company run my amazing, friendly people and have shown a lot of support for the Squidbots!

Eric Ajax, a third generation owner, talks to us about the company's history.
E. J. Ajax has been around for over 70 years! |

Group blue (and the Squidbots) learning how Ajax makes the tool in the above picture using the machine at far right. |
|
A staff member at Ajax explains to the group how the laser is used to cut the metal. |
|
Watching the laser in the machine etch and cut through the
metal to create iPad stands that we each were able to take home! |
|
The finished product: iPad stand laser etched and cut. We were each able to take
one of these home at the end of the day! |

This was such an awesome experience, and we are so grateful to E.J. Ajax for this unique opportunity as well as their support for the Squidbots!
