Assembler II

OBJECTIVE

By the end of this lesson, students will:

• Learn what an Assembler II does in Advanced Manufacturing.

• Work collaboratively to assemble a working electronic toy.

• Understand the importance of precision, quality control, and teamwork in manufacturing.

• Apply problem-solving and fine motor skills to complete an assembly task.

FUTURE READY

Advanced assemblers play a critical role in one of the Central Coast’s fastest-growing industries: microelectronics and semiconductor manufacturing. Our region is becoming a hub for companies that build precision electronic components and systems, creating strong demand for skilled Assemblers II who can read diagrams, assemble parts, and test devices for quality—jobs that don’t require a four-year degree but offer solid wages, stability, and growth. This lesson introduces 4th graders to those same hands-on skills as they build and test simple electronic toys, helping them experience the excitement of making technology work while building early confidence in STEM pathways and seeing themselves as future contributors to a high-demand, local industry with real potential for economic mobility.
