Arkansas State University

A team of A-State students known as Red Wolf Steel recently earned fourth place in the Cast in Steel competition, competing against teams from 64 schools across the country.

The group is part of A-State’s Society of Manufacturing Engineers team and includes Caden Grimmett, Michael "Ethan" Altenbaumer, Andrew “Bo” Grace, Sam Morris, and Channing Woodson.

Red Wolf Steel will be featured in Episode 5 of Cast in Steel Season 1, where the students design, cast and test George Washington-inspired swords using modern metal-casting techniques.
