Children up to age 14 enjoyed activities ranging from computer-aided design
demonstrations to manufacturing simulations using peanut butter-and- jelly
sandwiches at Visteon's Corporate Offices and Innovation Center in Van Buren
Township, as well as its Dearborn and Plymouth locations.

While shadowing their parents or guardians during their workday, the young
visitors got an inside look at one of the world's largest suppliers of
automotive components and systems.  They also enjoyed special activities
including tours of component design and testing labs, product demonstrations,
the sandwich-making manufacturing simulation, coloring contests, Lego(R)
bridge-building and a paper airplane exercise aimed at teaching project
management skills.

"Our employees spend a large part of their day at work, and we were thrilled to
give their children a chance to see what they do and what Visteon does each
day," said Jennifer Karaskiewicz, Visteon's manager of diversity and work/life.
 "This was a great chance for these young people to see that Visteon is an
interesting and fun place to work."

Many of the young visitors shared that view.  "I liked learning how the parts
work and what the engineers do," said Alison Zacharias, 13, of Canton, whose
father, Steve, is a controller for Visteon's Ford customer business group at
Visteon Village in Van Buren Township.  "It was pretty cool."
