Education and Sponsorship with WCI

We believe that education in STEM principles and manufacturing trades is important to the future success of our community. Waterjet Cutting of Indiana offers sponsorship and mentoring to students all across the country. Over our years of business we have sponsored student teams in robotics, motorsports, cycling, design, and academics. Our owner, Michael Trapp believes in giving every student the opportunity to learn industry-leading design and manufacturing methods. Mr. Trapp has been a  mentor in FIRST robotics since 2004, and opens WCI for hundreds of students each year to help make their ideas a reality.
