Since the beginning of the school year, students and teachers from the participating districts have been working in the classroom to prepare for the event where they will showcase their STEM skills for the community. “This event will be nothing like the science shows we all remember as students,” said Chris Ciuca, director of pre-professional education at SAE International. “Kia’s efforts to support STEM education in the region are beyond impressive. You’re going to see students engaging in a truly integrated STEM experience beyond anything you’ve seen before. Over 500 students will design, build, test and compete with JetToy cars on the day of the event.”
“On behalf of all KMMG team members, we are excited about our expanded engagement with students throughout Georgia and Alabama who will benefit from this fantastic program,” said Randy Jackson, KMMG’s senior vice president of human resources and administration. “This curriculum is making a big impact, and as a learning organization, Kia understands that the students of today will be our workforce of tomorrow.”
