Transportation-related STEM Activities
ITE encourages our Student Chapters to engage with elementary and high school students about the practice of transportation, how it impacts their lives, and careers in transportation.
Find many activity ideas, presentations, and resources, and templates you can use with your next K-12 STEM engagement efforts here!
