16-year-old Megan Dow tries her hand at a lathe in the Building-Trades department of Randolph Technical Career Center on Wednesday morning. The tenth-grade student from Williamstown was visiting RTCC as part of the "Challenge Day" that featured 29 young women from across the region getting a glimpse at how they can excel in non-traditional career fields for women, such as engineering, technology, and other skilled trades.
