WATCH AND LEARN

Browse through the links and videos below to discover how we engineer some of the quickest, fastest and most luxurious vehicles in the world at our Stellantis Tech Center in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Then try your hand at vehicle engineering and put your knowledge to the test by participating in some of the activities and challenges linked below.

Start here: Here are some of the basics about engineering: These are short videos that you can watch to learn about becoming an engineer and what engineers do.

The marshmallow challenge is a great engineering exercise that you can do using the stuff that you probably already have at home.

You'll need:

  • 20 raw spaghetti noodles
  • 1 yard of string
  • 1 yard of tape
  • 1 marshmallow

How tall of a tower can you build using only these items with the Marshmallow on top? Try it for yourself!
