Project Summary: This project will 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. Phase 1 of the project will include identification/inventorying transportation technologies suited for demonstrations to youth, an inventory of transportation learning activities, the development of a plan for an operational AMIL program and the creation of a Beta version of a lab. Phase 2 of the project will begin the implementation of the plan for a fully functional lab with program implementation being primarily in East Tennessee and will include a task for identifying the additional funding from sources beyond the CR2C2 program needed for ongoing operation.
Acknowledgement: Funding for this effort was provided by the Center for Regional and Rural Connected Communities (CR2C2) under Grant No. 69A3552348304 of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R), University Transportation Centers Program.
