NASCAR Fuels STEM Skills
Approximately 600 Inland Empire middle school students attended an event at the NASCAR Auto Club Speedway event in Fontana on Friday, 26 March. The San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, Alliance for Excellence, and other sponsors hosted activities where students used math to solve problems related to auto racing, including calculations of speed and distance. Several exercises had students determine tire and car performance based upon surface conditions and gradient. Professor David Brown from the automotive technology program at Citrus College in Glendora explained the types of math and science concepts necessary for auto technicians to perform successfully in modern shops. http://www.pe.com/local-news/topics/topics-education-headlines/20120323-education-students-apply-math-science-to-racing.ece
