Hudson, MI – A mechatronics teacher at Southern Michigan Center for Science and Industry in Hudson is one of the winners of the Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence.
Jeff Webb is a skilled tradesman with over 40 years of experience. He received a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education with majors in Earth Science and Geography from Central Michigan University and later a master’s degree in the Art of Teaching from Marygrove College.
In 2011, Webb began teaching engineering principles through Project Lead the Way. He enjoyed how much it fostered his curiosity for how things are made, and how much his students thrived with the hands-on learning involved. In 2018, he officially made the pivot to mechatronics.
Webb previously was a finalist for the 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence.
He will receive $35,000 for SMCI’s Skilled Trades Program…and $15,000 for personal use.
A total of $1.5 million in cash prizes were awarded to 25 outstanding public high school skilled trades teachers and their programs across the Country.
