Designed to showcase modern manufacturing which is high-tech, clean, diverse, and sustainable, the Makers on the Move bus tour visits manufacturing facilities, colleges, and high schools across the state during manufacturing month in October to highlight the innovative manufacturing sector and amazing job opportunities that are available today.

This year, the IMA and our partners at IMEC are hosting a design contest for the 46-foot charter bus wrap, open to all Illinois high school students. Winners of the contest will not only have their design featured on the bus for the entire week-long, statewide tour, but will also win the offer for the bus to stop at their high school!

Interested students must completed the submission form available via the link below to receive dimensions of the bus and design format instructions that must be used for submission (.AI is preferred).

Designs are due to the IMA by 5:00pm on Tuesday, April 30th.

🌎🚀Our engineers are out of this world and are inspiring the next generation of problem solvers. This week we celebrated #EngineersWeek with local 5th graders by challenging them to a unique packaging engineering mission. Students stretched their STEM muscles and worked creatively in teams to develop M&M package prototypes for space travel. Students followed our engineering design process to create packages that were compact, easy to open, and could keep the M&Ms from floating away in a zero gravity environment. We were so impressed by all their ideas and know they would make great professional engineers one day. Welcome to the future of engineering! #Eweek2024 #DiscoverEngineering ... See MoreSee Less
