WHEELING, W.VA – Five students from West Virginia Northern Community College (WVNCC) are getting ready for the Tough As Nails Urban Challenge on May 26, in Wheeling, West Virginia. However, these students will not be participating in the challenge; rather, these second-year Welding students are hard at work fabricating a challenging monkey bar obstacle to be featured in this year’s urban challenge.
This monkey bar obstacle will test the strength and agility of participants as they navigate through the course. After each student submitted their own design, one was chosen to be transformed from concept to reality over the past few months, all in preparation for the upcoming event. However, this endeavor isn’t just for fun; students are working on this group project as part of their Layout and Fabrication class and will receive a grade, based on their performance.
