ENGINEERING EVENTS
This year, 250 students participated in the annual JetToy Competition. Overall, 100,000 children have participated since 2012.
Kia Georgia plant, emphasized how
enjoyable the competition is: not only for
students, but also for the event volunteers.
" People here love being a part of this
event and anybody's going to do anything
they can to rearrange their schedule to be
[involved], " Sands said. During the opening
of the competition, SAE Foundation
recognized Kia for their astounding impact
on over 100,000 students by supporting
the annual event since 2012.
Joanne Mabrey, the AWIM program
manager for community relations at Kia
Georgia, looks forward to the children's
enthusiasm each year. " The excitement they
have in building their jet toys and racing in
the event is contagious, " she said.
" Whether they win or lose, they're working
together and they're sharing [ideas]. "
No matter the outcome of the
UPDATE
competition itself, students gain valuable
experience in problem-solving and
collaboration while also learning STEM
concepts in a unique, fun way. Mabrey
recounted an inspiring example of
resilience and teamwork where she
witnessed a group of students who were
confident that they were going to win an
award-but, when they didn't place, one
student was deeply disappointed. Mabrey
said the rest of the team " pulled together
to support him and tell him that it's OK...
that they were still a team. " They reminded
him that, " They still had [this] experience
that they shared, regardless of whether
they actually won an award or not. " It's
these small moments and valuable lessons
that make the annual JetToy competition so
rewarding for everyone involved. n
