Since last year was a such a success, Chrysler Group LLC is hosting its second annual design competition for Michigan high schoolers. This fosters creativity among the students who are already showing interest in the automotive industry, and gives them the opportunity to share their innovative ideas. Let's take a look at the details right here on our Chrysler blog.
Mark Trostle, Head of SRT, Mopar and Motorsports Design for Chrysler Group LLC., explains how this idea came about, stating, "We created this design competition a year ago as a way to creatively connect with the youth of the Motor City. Now, with help once again from the College for Creative Studies and Detroit Autorama, we’re opening the competition up to all Michigan public high schools to showcase talent throughout the entire state and hopefully inspire new and aspiring automotive designers."1
Students who participate in what is now known as the "Autorama High School Design Competition," are asked to develop a vehicle that appeals to a younger audience and is environmentally friendly as well. For their inspiration, they can look to any of the new Chrysler models within the lineup.
All entries, which must follow the size requirements provided, must be submitted to the Chrysler Group Product Design team by Friday, January 10. To check out more of the details, you can find them by visiting www.Facebook.com/DriveForDesign.
