Arts and Education

GM: GM Wiki: GM is inviting people from around the world to contribute to the Generations of GM Wiki on GMnext.com and share their personal experiences from the company's first 100 years.

Ford Model T: Rethinking the Model T at the College for Creative Studies (CCS): Ford Design staff is challenging Transportation Design students at CCS to develop Model T design concepts that Henry Ford might have created 100 years after he designed the original. Students put themselves in Henry Ford's shoes and create concepts that aim to deliver a similar impact on the automobile industry in 2008 as did the original Model T in 2008.

Other "2008: Year of the Car" Arts and Education projects include: Build a Model T for students (grades 6-12), Dearborn Artists Society Model T Exhibition, GMnext.com, Model T 101, Model T Youth Summer Camp Program, The Henry Ford Ideas and Innovation Lecture Series, and the World of Model T Conference. In addition, at least two automotive books, GM Art and Colour by Michael Furman and Model T, A Centennial History by Robert Casey, will be published during the centennial year.
