The DASH+ team is excited for next week’s victory lap in Detroit! We will be traveling with Grand Prize winner, EDV Technologies, to Motor City where the team will have the unique opportunity to learn about the automotive and environmental industries from an insider’s perspective.
To start the week off, Team EDV - Jake Moghtader, Nikhil Shinday and Kelvin Noronha, with mentor Kevin Schantz - will visit The Henry Ford, where they will present their dashboard of the future to a panel of auto experts. They will also have lunch with Ann Marie Sastry, one of the auto industry’s most influential battery experts. The team will also visit the Ford Rouge Factory, where Ford F-150s are assembled.
While in Detroit, they will have the opportunity to take their dashboard to the next level with software used by automotive designers at the College for Creative Studies, observe environmental professionals at work and tour the facilities used to test emissions standards at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and finally, visit the Michigan International Speedway to witness the final stages of the Progressive Insurance Automotive X PRIZE competition and meet the competing teams.
Be sure to check back in through next week as we keep you posted on the trip! You can also follow the Grand Prize experience on Twitter @DashPlusContest.
