Students in rural Georgia are participating in the Advanced Manufacturing Pathways (AMP) program, an initiative from the Georgia Institute of Technology that introduces hands-on learning through designing, building, and racing custom cars. The program aims to teach students real manufacturing skills and provide new educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
With support from local educators and industry partners, AMP is intended to change how communities think about workforce development. The program focuses on practical experiences that can prepare students for future careers in technical fields.
Georgia Tech is recognized for its focus on technology education across engineering, sciences, business, and liberal arts disciplines. The institution maintains a campus in Midtown Atlanta and engages globally through partnerships and international campuses. More information about its programs can be found at https://gatech.edu/.
