Abstract
Winona State University has partnered with the Institute for Advanced Composite Materials Innovation to offer Composite Bootcamps in the summer free of charge to anyone 17 and older. There are many stages in setting up programming that pull in aspects of concept, budgeting, paperwork, and campus discussions. As the pilot site for this ambitious nation-wide programming, the brainstorming and production was entirely developed by WSU staff and students. The curriculum and car was designed in a way to allow for alternate sites to recreate with multiple types of processing equipment.
