Sparks flew during Clark College’s SteelDays welding competition on Friday.

Battle Ground, Prairie, Fort Vancouver, Kelso and Summit View high school students assembled kits of laser-cut steel pieces prepared by Clark College welding students and instructors. Each competitor received the same kit, tools and set of directions detailing the welds needed to build a box with geometric shapes on the sides.
