The Design Squad Seeks 18-19yos passionate about engineering

The Design Squad is seeking candidates ages 18-19 who are passionate
about engineering and are excited to spend the months of June-August
in Boston (and traveling as well) tackling design challenges and
competing for the $10,000 prize.
Produced by WGBH-Boston for PBS, the program's goal is to get viewers
excited about engineering and the design process. Contestants tackle
engineering challenges for real world clients- such as creating
cardboard furniture projects for IKEA or designing a gravity bike (no
pedals or cranks!) for Extreme Game champion Tom Whalen.
Money for housing is provided. Contestants are paid -- so not only is
this a unique opportunity, it also qualifies as a summer job!

They are seeking a diverse pool of young men and women -- and will
ultimately choose 3 guys and 3 gals. Please urge any kid you know who
is passionate about engineering and building things to apply. A link
to the application can be found at http://pbskids. org/designsquad/
(click on Casting Call – Season 3).

The deadline is Friday, April 11.
