Toyota is challenging its customers to come up with ways technology invented for their vehicles can be used outside the auto industry. While the actual contest is for individuals 18 or older, the challenge is a real world creativity and creative problem solving activity that can definitely be used with students in the classroom.
One winner in each of the five technology categories could have their idea become a reality. Winners will be determined by a formula based on input from our panel of gurus and the general public. The winners will get their pick of a new 2011 Prius, 2011 Venza or 2011 Highlander Hybrid. See the Official Rules. Together we can do some real good and make a difference we couldn’t have made alone.
1) Pick from one of five technologies
2) Have students come up with a creative way to use them beyond to improve lives beyond the automotive industry
3) Check out and support actual submissions
