DesignSquad

Design Squad, the PBS reality competition show, is auditioning for Season 3.

We are seeking candidates ages 18-19 who are passionate about engineering and are excited to spend the months of June-August in Boston (and traveling as well) tackling design challenges and competing for the $10,000 prize.

Produced by WGBH-Boston for PBS, the program's goal is to get viewers excited about engineering and the design process. Contestants tackle engineering challenges for real world clients- such as creating cardboard furniture projects for IKEA or designing a gravity bike (no pedals or cranks!) for Extreme Game champion Tom Whalen.

• Money for housing is provided.
• Contestants are paid -- so not only is this a unique opportunity, it also qualifies as a summer job!

We are seeking a diverse pool of young men and women -- we will ultimately choose 3 guys and 3 gals. Please urge any kid you know who is passionate about engineering and building things to apply. A link to the application can be found at http://pbskids.org/designsquad/. Deadline is Friday, April 11.
