From Henan to Shanghai: 2026 Ford Zhixing Summer Camp Concludes Successfully

Recently, Shanghai enjoyed a rare stretch of beautiful weather. A group of middle school students from the Fun Classroom program in Shangcai County, Henan Province, embarked on a journey of growth and discovery, accompanied by Ford volunteers every step of the way.

On the first day, the children visited the World Skills Museum, where they experienced traditional crafts such as movable-type printing and hair design, before taking in the dazzling night views of Lujiazui and the Bund. Day two brought a trip to Disneyland, where laughter and dreams walked hand in hand with the children. On the third day, the students visited the Shanghai Natural History Museum and the Ford Design Center, gaining insight into the wisdom and dedication behind every vehicle. They then became "Junior Auto Consultants" in the Auto Discovery Challenge, tackling fun team tasks in groups, and got an up-close look at the striking presence of the Ford Mustang. That evening, at the science museum exploration and closing banquet, the children performed self-written and self-directed shows, while volunteers penned heartfelt messages to them. On the final day, they stepped onto the podium at Tongji University together, soaking in its rich academic atmosphere.

This camp is an extension of Ford's broader philanthropic footprint — and a testament to how Ford volunteers, through the combined power of technology and humanity, are helping children from rural communities see a bigger world.

近日，上海难得迎来了好天气。来自河南上蔡县趣味课堂的一群初中生，在福特志愿者陪伴下开启了一场成长探索之旅。

首日他们走进世界技能博物馆，体验活字印刷与美发设计等技艺，夜赏陆家嘴、外滩的璀璨夜景；次日迪士尼之旅，让孩子们的欢笑与梦想同行。第三天，孩子们先后参观上海自然博物馆与福特设计中心，读懂一辆车背后的智慧与坚持；随后在"汽车探索官挑战赛"中化身小小汽车顾问，分组挑战趣味任务，还近距离感受了福特Mustang的驰骋风采。当晚的科技馆探索与结营晚宴上，孩子们献上自编自演的节目，志愿者们也写下真挚寄语。最后一天他们共同走进同济大学，站上讲台，感受浓厚的学术氛围。

这是福特公益版图的延伸，也是福特志愿者们用科技与人文的力量，陪乡村孩子们看见更大的世界。
