“My father is a mechanic. He’s always talking about cars and engines and racing his dragsters on the weekends. BORING!!! But, in one of my innovation labs with DEILAB I learned WHY cars are built the way that they are and HOW it accelerates. Now I’m excited to talk to my Dad about cars. I used to HATE building things, but now I LOVE it. I think I want to study more STEM stuff and become an engineer.”
