As you can imagine, it’s not easy to capture the magic of Art Center in an online environment, but we think we’re off to a pretty good start. And we want your friends and family to help us test it out! We are looking for 30 beginning designers, 13– 17-years-old, to form our first test group. Participants should be eager to learn about the car design process and ready to take their initial steps into the world of transportation design. Of course, as an online program, they can participate from any location around the world. As brand new designers, we ask only that they commit to being a great online student over a six- week period and to provide us with their honest and uncensored feedback throughout the process. Visit Art Center Online or call 626 396-4380. See Mrs. Lake, G226, [email protected], for more information.
