SJSU University Grant ProgramXavier’s "Girls Have IT Day"The customized GM Chevrolet Volt

Drive for Innovation is an initiative presented by UBM Electronics in partnership with Avnet Express, the e-Commerce engine for Avnet Electronics Marketing, an operating group of Avnet, Inc. The first-of-its kind media project is designed to showcase electronics innovation and automotive system design with a cross-country journey in a Chevrolet Volt. The 12-month initiative will celebrate innovative people, products and places in electronics and technology.

EE Times Editorial Director Brian Fuller will visit innovation hubs across America, interviewing engineers, entrepreneurs, innovators, students and “mad scientists” – all while blogging and posting video about his experiences. Fuller will highlight inspiring stories and detail electronics innovation behind the Volt and the future of plug-in electric cars.

This multi-faceted program is anchored by driveforinnovation.com, which features content from the trip, a drive tracker, and an interactive map, as well as games and prizes to fuel community engagement.
