Description: Discovery Under the Hood is a project designed to encourage teen girls in Madison County, NY, to excel in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). It is a hands-on experience that shows how STEM relates to our everyday lives. Using the car as a "vehicle," 24 teenage girls explore topics including internal combustion, fuel economy, the power train, computerized diagnostic equipment, and the integration of all these. Participants acquire practical skills including: creating a monthly maintenance schedule for the family car, assembling an emergency road kit, and handling hazards on the highway.
