Brianna Hammond, an 11th grader in the Lake Forest FFA chapter, shares her SAE project focused on welding and fabrication, where she creates custom metal objects from stainless steel and aluminum for clients. Through this hands-on work, she has developed essential welding skills, learned the importance of detailed planning, and gained knowledge about materials and machine setup that will support her goal of joining the Navy. She emphasizes how FFA has provided her not only with technical skills but also a strong community of lifelong friends and connections.
