NSTI Field Trip To VTrans

Vermont's National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI) is a fun, interactive, FREE program held on the campus of Vermont Technical College (VTC) for students entering 7^th through 12^th grade next fall. The program provides middle school and high school students with a hands-on exploration of future careers in transportation through awareness of complex transportation systems we use every day. Interactive labs, field trips and guest speakers will engage the students as they explore drones, heavy equipment,  visit construction projects, 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. It is completely free of charge to all participants.
