CADKEY® Assists Technical Drafting Student to Win the Gold

Student Heads to the National SkillsUSA VICA Competition

March 28, 2002 - Bangor, ME - Seth Morin, Lewiston Regional Technical Center (LRTC) student, recently won the gold medal at the Maine SkillsUSA VICA Competition for Technical Drafting using CADKEY, 2D/3D and solid modeling software. Seth will be heading to Kansas City, MO to compete in the national computer-aided design competition in June.

Don Jalbert, LRTC drafting instructor said, "I am looking for good things from Seth in Kansas City. He is working hard to prepare for a good showing at the National Conference. Armed with his own version of CADKEY19 on the laptop that he has to use until June - he will be ready!"
