Some high school and college students in California will get the chance to work on a $1.5 million supercar thanks to a new partnership with Las Vegas-based car manufacturer.
Students from Fresno County, California, are getting a unique opportunity to learn about manufacturing electric supercars, thanks to a partnership with Trion Supercars, Your Central Valley reports. The collaboration involves three local high schools, Fresno State University, and Trion Supercars, a manufacturer of high-performance electric vehicles.
The students will work on the Trion Nemesis model, a supercar currently in development and valued at over $1.5 million. The project will allow students to gain hands-on experience in advanced technology skills, manufacturing, fabrication and engineering, preparing them for potential careers in the supercar industry.
The students will be developing modifications for the Nemesis, which will be showcased at the F-1 Race in Las Vegas in November. The project is a joint effort between Career Technical Education Charter High School (CTEC), Duncan Polytechnical High School, the Center for Advanced Research and Technology (CART) and Fresno State University.
Richard Patterson, CEO and founder of Trion Supercars, will attend the event and display the Trion Nemesis model. The event will be held at the CTEC’s Innovation Center, but it is not open to the public.
