IIHS STEM Tour and “Start Your Engines” Award
As part of our work on the “Start Your Engines” STEM/Nova award, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) hosted Troop 17 for a highly informative presentation and tour of their research facilities in Rucversville, VA. Through this unique opportunity, our STEM program participants learned a tremendous amount about automobile design and safety, the latest in crash avoidance technology, the physics of automobile crashes, and how IIHS helps improve safety.
