项目名称：	K-12 Mississippi Summer Transportation Institute (MSTI), JSU (YR1)
摘要：	The Mississippi Summer Transportation Institute (MSTI) aimed to introduce a diverse group of motivated high school students to the transportation industry. This three-week program was held at Jackson State University�s Engineering Building in Jackson, Mississippi. The Inter-modal Advisory Committee recruited thirty rising 9th-12th grade students for the residential MSTI program. The high school students participated in academic and extra-curricular activities designed to improve their Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) knowledge and leadership skills. This residential program provided a well-balanced curriculum and an environment that was conducive to both academic and personal development, promoted interpersonal skills and exposed students to real-world transportation issues. These were accomplished through a series of classroom activities, field trips and recreational activities. Robot competition, traffic design, and bridge competitions were included to enhance students� design ability and teamwork skills. An evening coordinator organized in-class scientific projects, including Eiffel tower construction, hanging in duct tape, balsa bridge glider, egg drop, and paper tower competitions.
