Where Craftsmanship Meets Career – Interview with Kelsey Britton of IYRS School of Technology & Trades

Play episode

This week Kelsey Britton joins both Andrew Pokelwaldt and myself on the podcast to talk about her background in composites, and the work they are doing at IYRS School of Technology & Trades – a non-profit, post-secondary experiential learning institution in Newport, Rhode Island.

It is the premier marine trades and modern manufacturing school in the United States. 

Kelsey has a passion for designing and building with some of the lightest, strongest materials on earth. Before joining IYRS as an instructor, Kelsey worked for New England Boatworks where she helped build the 62-foot carbon fiber Tripp design racing boat ChessieRacing.

On campus, Kelsey is the primary Rhino 3D computer graphics and CAD instructor, teaching students in multiple IYRS programs the software they’ll use to design their school and capstone projects. Kelsey uses her knowledge and experience to instruct and guide students as they conceptualize and build composites projects as diverse as miniature working tug boats to high-impact bicycle helmets.
