Tuesday, February 28, 2023 marked the end of the month with the pending arrival of March, but it also culminated with the annual SAE A World In Motion (AWIM) program that brings together students from schools in both Georgia and Alabama. Creating the most efficient and smooth-running balloon powered JetToy vehicle was the task for hundreds of fifth grade students that gathered for the friendly competition hosted at the Columbus Civic Center. The annual competition is sponsored and hosted by Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, Inc. (KMMG).
The JetToy cars must meet specific performance criteria while being measured for distance, accuracy and creativity. The commitment from Kia Georgia provides educational opportunities and inspiration alike for students by participating in the hands-on competition. Students utilized the AWIM curriculum which included teaching concepts on jet propulsion, friction, air resistance and design to help them build an optimal JetToy race car for competition. In addition to reinforcing important STEM concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, students also developed essential 21st Century workforce skills such as communication, collaboration and problem solving as part of their learning experience.
CCSD Superintendent was thrilled with the outstanding efforts submitted in the competition by fifth graders from Chambers County. Dr. Chambley highlighted that these students are learning the necessary skills to help them be successful in the future workforce of tomorrow. CCSD STEAM Inspire Academy Teacher and sponsor, Mr. Seth Stehouwer noted it was exciting to see tomorrow’s engineers at work designing their JetToy entries. The JetToy entries were powered by balloon power using their design projects that have been analyzed in advance in preparation for competition. The JetToy curriculum charges students with a challenge to provide a variety of interesting designs for a new line of balloon-powered vehicles to be comprised by their design team.
Team entries from Chambers County included fifth graders from Eastside Elementary School, Fairfax Elementary School and Huguley Elementary School. Eastside Elementary School’s fifth graders were sponsored by one of their teachers, Sandra Adkins, Fairfax fifth grade teacher, David Strickland sponsored his school’s team, and Huguley Elementary School Teacher Rusty Yates sponsored the fifth graders from HES. In all 32 fifth graders from across Chambers County participated in the JetToy Challenge Competition. Award winning teams from Huguley Elementary School placed first and second overall in the distance and time competition.
