Manufacturing
At Polaris, citizens take on the role of vehicle designers and engineers. Using computer software, they design safe vehicles for both business and personal use. Through hands-on learning, they explore key ideas about vehicles and put their learning to the test by driving a remote-controlled ATV across different terrain. Citizens also create and sell items like blow-up tires, pop tubes, and custom buttons; gaining real-world experience in making and marketing products!
