Local students from iCode School in Corning got an insider’s look at the technology behind professional racing during a special visit to Watkins Glen International, according to WENY. The event coincided with the Sahlen’s Six Hours at the Glen race weekend.
Led by iCode owner Matthew Towner and supported by the nonprofit Kids on Track, students toured the track, met drivers, and explored race cars up close. They also spoke with WGI President Dawn Burlew and learned about women making history in motorsports.
The hands-on experience aimed to spark interest in STEM careers by linking classroom learning with real-world racing technology.
