Community Partnerships

Community partnerships play an important role in the success of our students.

Whirlpool Corporation has partnered with nine teams of Penn STEM students in order to design storage components for schools. The challenge given us by Whirlpool was to create a storage product that students or teachers would use in schools. After a day at Whirlpool headquarters learning about innovation and design, the teams consulted with Whirlpool as part of the process of designing a storage unit. Each team presented its product design to Whirlpool officials at their corporate headquarters at the end of the semester.
