Before we look ahead to the National Championship, we want to take a moment to celebrate the teams that made this season possible.

More than 50 teams from across the country entered the Clash of Trades Advanced Manufacturing Competition Series, and 16 advanced to the regional rounds—each bringing their own story, skills, and ambitions. Throughout the season, we’ve watched these teams overcome challenges, solve complex problems, support one another, and showcase the incredible talent within advanced manufacturing programs nationwide. Now, you can watch their journeys unfold too.
