We’re thrilled to share a few final student projects from our recent partnership with the College for Creative Studies in Detroit! Named 'the People’s Car 2030,' this project challenged students to explore how vehicles will enhance lifestyles, improve human-machine interactions, and foster connections with the environment, community and self, ultimately amplifying daily transportation experiences for the American mass market. Students took advantage of current and future technologies in their concepts to enhance the mobility experience and simplify production. Volkswagen Group of America Innovation and Engineering Center California (IECC) partnered with the College for Creative Studies to create a program for vehicle design students to brainstorm mobility solution ideas and pitch to Volkswagen engineers. Thirty students participated and were divided into 10 teams, each focusing on a specific customer profile. Students learned first-hand from Volkswagen designers how the auto industry looks at the future and what mobility solutions will be available. Each student gained valuable experience in the design process as well as professional-level outputs for their portfolios. Congratulations to all who participated!

Congratulations to the U.S. Women's National Team on their win last night in the first SheBelieves Cup match of the season against Colombia! ?
