Hardware Park's NextGen Program

The goal of Hardware Park’s NextGen programming is to fuel the growth of the design, engineering, and manufacturing of physical products in the state of Alabama.

Summer 2024 NextGen Cohort

Hardware Park’s NextGen program is a hands-on engineering program for students in Alabama. The NextGen students gain access to cutting-edge technologies, industry mentorship, and real-world project experience, setting them on a path to becoming future leaders in engineering and design.

Many of this cohort's students are dedicating their engineering talents to developing innovative technologies aimed at assisting individuals with disabilities. Students are also working on private, proprietary technology that can't be disclosed at this time.
