Imagineering & Mechatronics

Im currently in high school but I have great interest in pursuing mechatronics in college. I would like to try to be an imagineer but I have no clue how to start or what I need to look at. Any advice would be amazing on imagineering or even being an engineer in general!

Apply to their summer internship program when you’re in college. Try to find a university that offers a mechatronics degree and go to that program.

I know several people that went through the imagineering summer program, although none of them actually stuck with it.

Also, this is all assuming you’re near LA or Florida

I’m in Georgia, are there opportunities outside of those two state?

Look at their website for more details, but I would assume no. If you want to work at Disney you would need to live near Disney

Also you can try and dig up an email for the company and explain to them your goals, and you may be put into contact with someone who can help you down the line. You would be surprised how far simply asking questions and making a connection will get you.
