Amazing things happen when our members host or participate in an NFPA Fluid Power Action Challenge event. Middle and high school students learn about fluid power through this hands-on design and build competition. Teams leverage their STEM education and key life skills—problem-solving, teamwork, time management, communication, and project management—to solve an engineering problem.
Members, there is still time to host your own Fluid Power Action Challenge (FPAC) this academic year, or you can volunteer at one of the events already scheduled. Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) is seeking volunteers for their upcoming challenge.
Volunteer at MSOE’s Fluid Power Challenge
Join us at MSOE’s Kern Center for their annual Fluid Power Challenge! This exciting event invites middle school students to learn about fluid power and design and build a device to complete a challenge that changes annually. No prior fluid power experience is required to volunteer and make a difference!

Speak with Emerging Talent at MSOE
