Students in the automotive program at Ramona High School in Riverside, CA, attended three competitions during the past school year.
From Alexis Nagem’s article on the Ramona Sentinel website:
Led by Ramona High School teacher Robert Grace, the Auto Dawgs attended three competitions this school year and placed in various positions.
During spring break, senior Benjamin Lackey and senior Alexia Hall participated in a national competition the Greater New York Auto Dealers held in New York. Students were selected to represent San Diego County based on grades they earned on an examination that tested various aspects of automobile maintenance and services, such as electrical harness repair, soldering, tire alignment and tire balance.
Using a STEM (science, technology, electric and math) board, judges also tested the students’ knowledge of high-level electronic circuits using automatic headlights.
Automatic headlights with poor wiring were presented to the students, who had to diagnose why the wire was malfunctioning and prove their findings to a judge, said Grace.
