National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI) – Vermont
The summer program that takes you places!
July 24, 2016 – August 5, 2016
The National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI) is a fun, interactive, FREE residential program held on a college campus in Vermont for students entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade next fall. The program provides high school students with hands-on exploration of future careers in transportation through awareness of the complex transportation system we’ve come to rely on. Interactive labs, field trips and guest speakers will engage the students as they drive a big rig in the CDL simulator, visit mass transit systems, and learn how bridges are designed and created. Exploring energy, the environment and eco-friendly transportation systems gives focus to how Math, Science, and English all relate to transportation careers. The NSTI is sponsored by the Vermont Agency of Transportation and funded through a grant from the Federal Highway Administration.
