Moving students closer to their future
Challenge
Hundreds of school buses brought in thousands of students to Cobo Hall in Detroit for the Shell Eco-Marathon experience.
Solution
Shell hosts an annual competition for college students to build special vehicles to race while obtaining the highest fuel efficiency. Hours of design and research are invested in the vehicles. In order to continue inspiring new ideas and future engineers and professionals, Shell invites local elementary school-aged children to experience these forward-thinking ideas in action.
Corporate Production Services partnered with Shell to provide transportation management and staging of school buses and organized drop-off and pick-up areas to safely move children into Cobo Hall. Over 2 days, the Corporate Production Services logistics team was vigilant and attentive to the thousands of students that walked through the doors, making sure they stayed with their teachers and made it safely back on their buses. The highly-detailed traffic route plans and event production capabilities such as graphic design, signage production and staffing services allowed Corporate Production Services to score straight-A’s in this successful event for all the students and teachers, and their bus drivers, too!
Result
Helping thousands of students arrive safely to the Shell Eco-Marathon to experience new ideas and a fun learning environment.
