These children can learn a lot about science and engineering from lndycars, says driver Ed Carpenter.
?Everything that we do here with these race cars, whether what keeps us safe in an accident or what’s helping us go fast on the track, has proved that it’s an engineering-driven sport, and the heart of it is math and science,” said Carpenter.
The Indy Racing League, or INDYCAR sponsors the Future of Fast program. The group provides science, technology, engineering and mathematics course material to U.S. schools. The idea behind the demonstrations is to expose kids to new ideas, says Vince Bertram, head of the organization.
?It’s one thing to just enjoy the speed and the track experience, but quite another when you really start to understand the technical issues and how these cars are designed and put together, and that’s fun,” said Bertram.
