2016 STEM Institute for Young Scientists
Submitted by Jacob Heiden
Jacob Heiden and Alec La Velle were speakers at the 2016 STEM Institute for Young Scientists, which is organized to show children different STEM pathways and careers. They presented to 239 seventh grade students from 4 schools. The presenters discussed different safety issues that could be tested on a driving simulator, such as impaired driving or distracted driving. The children were able to sit in the driver's seat of a simulated vehicle and see the devastating effects of texting and driving first hand.
