TBD National Center, in partnership with the National Center for Infrastructure Transformation, was proud to co-sponsor the Summer Transportation Extravaganza, hosted by the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU).
This immersive week-long program brought rising high school juniors and seniors to ASU for hands-on learning, giving students the opportunity to explore transportation engineering, infrastructure, and emerging technologies.
Throughout the week, students built and tested autonomous vehicle projects, visited Mesa Gateway Airport, toured the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Transportation Operations Center, learned about real-world transportation projects from professionals at Kimley-Horn, explored engineering research laboratories and facilities, competed in the Transportation Traffic Bowl, and presented their final projects to family, friends, and program mentors.
These experiences gave students firsthand exposure to transportation research and practice, engineering, and infrastructure, while connecting them with faculty, current ASU students, and transportation professionals. By introducing students to real-world challenges and innovative technologies, the Summer Transportation Extravaganza helps inspire the next generation of transportation professionals and leaders.
TBD National Center thanks the organizers, instructors, volunteers, and partner organizations whose participation made this year’s program a success.
