Made possible by the Gene Haas Foundation
These courses are supported by the Gene Haas Foundation. Inspired by a strong social conscience instilled by his family, Gene Haas formed the Foundation in 1999 to fund the needs of the local community. Haas is the owner Haas Automation, Inc., America’s leading builder of CNC machine tools. Today, the Gene Haas Foundation’s primary goal is to build skills in the machining industry by providing scholarships for CNC machine technology students and NIMS credentials.

About the Mid-America Science Park
At the Mid-America Science Park, you have an opportunity to learn the basics of CNC machine operation. CNC machines turn raw materials like metal, wood and plastic into final products using computer automation to perform machining tasks such as milling, lathe and turning. Our CNC training lab is equipped with training machines which are used in many manufacturing environments from automotive to energy to aerospace and defense.
About the Regional Manufacturing Alliance
Manufacturers drive local economies as job creators. In areas with smaller populations, they depend on a strong regional workforce to succeed. The Regional Manufacturing Alliance (RMA) is a regional consortium of partner employers, Vincennes University, the Scott County Economic Development Corporation, and the Mid-America Science Park. The RMA was created to strengthen the position of regional manufacturers by working collaboratively to support work-based learning and pipeline development that promotes manufacturing careers.
