Use the awe-inspiring Monster Jam trucks to inspire a new generation of high school students to consider a career in the trades through the Tools for the Trades\u2122 Monster Jam\u00ae Mini Build featuring the students of the Bryan Texas High School shop class, instructor Chris Lehde, and Monster Jam mentors Colt Stephens, Armando Castro, Matt DelSanter, and Bill Easterly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The challenge? Build a mini Monster Jam truck out of a 740cc EFI NorthStar engine, some raw steel, and your own two hands. They built their plan, then they built their truck. The time was short and the pressure was on. They solved problems, learned teamwork, built friendships, and did more than anyone imagined high school students could do. Now it\u2019s time for their work to be revealed\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to Northern Tool&#8217;s YouTube channel to follow these talented students on their journey to the big reveal
