May 13, 2020 \/3BL Media\/ – Bridgestone Americas Technical Center, a state-of-the-art hub for the development of innovative and advanced tire technologies, hosted its seventh annual Engineer for a Day event in Akron, Ohio. The full day of interactive activities was created to attract local students to the field of engineering.<\/p>\n

Approximately 100 high school seniors and teachers will visit the facility to participate in programming designed to provide a glimpse into the future of mobility. The day will include demonstrations of a variety of tire activities with senior engineers, chemists and architects, an egg drop device build and competition and shadowing sessions with scientists for students to learn more about their career paths.<\/p>\n
