Interested in CR2C2 activities and engagement opportunities?
Through Research and Education Exploratory Grants (REEGs), CR2C2 supports several initiatives wit the focus on transportation education, workforce development and outreach as detailed below.
Project R-EWD-1. Advanced Mobility Innovation Lab: This project develop an Advanced Mobility Innovation Lab (AMIL) program to reach underserved K-12 students in rural and urban core areas of the southeast. These portable STEM labs will fuse transportation technology demonstrations with project-based STEM activities to educate students regarding the STEM principles used to develop such systems.
Project R-EWD-2. Multi-State Assessment of Advanced Mobility Innovation Lab: This project will consist of testing the implementation of the Advanced Mobility Innovation Lab (AMIL) program using resources from multiple states and consortium members to reach K-12 students in rural areas of the southeast. The portable STEM lab will fuse transportation technology demonstrations with project-based STEM activities to expose students to advanced technologies and educate them about the STEM principles used to develop and operate such systems. The project will include the refinement of the tools and plans created in a prior project (R-EWD-1), the enhancement of our partnership with other CR2C2 consortium members along with test events in Tennessee and North Carolina.
