AEM launches election-themed app to educate voters on manufacturing issues

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), Milwaukee, has launched a new smartphone game through its I Make America campaign to engage and educate voters on manufacturing issues this election season.

The I Make America (IMA) Game is available to download for free through the Apple Store, Google Play, and the Windows Store. The interactive experience is intended to educate users about the manufacturing issues at stake during the 2016 campaign in a fun and engaging way. Users compete in several small construction and agriculture equipment-themed challenges, followed by multiple-choice questions that gauge their knowledge of several manufacturing issues, like infrastructure, trade, and renewable fuels.

To support the game, the I Make America campaign plans to travel to more than two dozen manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S. to engage employees and give them a chance to compete in the game. I Make America will award prizes to the highest-scoring game user at each event and a grand prize (a 3-D television) to the highest-scoring app user by the election.

I Make America is a grassroots campaign comprising members of the equipment manufacturing workforce and related industries, as well as supportive members of the general public, who advocate for policies and solutions to promote equipment manufacturers.
