👩🏭🤖📻 What's one way to get kids excited about working in metal fabrication?
Build something cool.
You know, like an 18-foot-tall robot weighing 8,000 lbs.
The first project for @welderunderground , a six-month welding and fabricating apprenticeship program, was an large-scale steel sculpture of “Rappin’ Max Robot."
Here's the story behind it.
👉🔗 Link to full article in our bio.
On Thursday July 25th, Brooklyn design and fabrication studio Collab-Orators wanted to celebrate. After all, welders from the studio's apprenticeship program had built an 18-foot metal sculpture that weighed some 7,000 pounds.
DJs spun classic Hip Hop hits for a diverse crowd, including local officials like Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, who marvelled at the behemoth art work that was created in Bushwick.
Welding masks were handed out to the crowd, as the robot's first antenna was welded on as the crowd watched from below.
There was good reason for this cheer, as the sculpture emerged due to a innovative collaboration between an apprenticeship program called Welder Underground and comic book creator Eric Orr.
The 18-foot robot was a replica of Orr’s signature character, Rappin’ Max Robot, otherwise known as “The World's First Hip-Hop Robot.”

Sharing great news! 📰🔥
Our non-profit started a new initiative called Welder Underground to teach welding and metal fabrication to young adults by partnering with established artists and sculptors to build large-scale public art installations.
Follow our journey as we translate Eric Orr’s iconic character “Rappin’ Max Robot” into an 18-foot tall, four thousand pound tribute to Hip Hop that will live in perpetuity in Paris, commemorating the first Olympics to feature Breaking as a competitive sport.
Follow the journey @welderunderground

Modeled after the JVC RC-M90 and made for @uhhmuseum . This iconic BoomBox sits inside the Dapper Dan lounge at The Revolution of Hip Hop. It’s 15 ft. wide and 8 ft. tall and embedded with @bassbossbass speakers. It takes you back to the Golden Era and fills the room with sounds and scenes from 1986-1990.
