NASCAR TEN80 NSBE PARTICIPATION GUIDE SEP. 20122012-2013 NSBE NASCAR TEN 80 PARTICIPATION GUIDE
National AE Programs Zone
Welcome to the 2012‐2013 PCI Programming year!
What an exciting year we have in store for NSBE! I am truly excited to be able to impact the
lives of students in such a unique way. We have so many great changes that my committee
and I feel will enhance the quality of the product of programming we are putting out for the
membership.
The NSBE National PCI Committee has started an evaluation of our programming matrix for
our different age groups. During this evaluation, we noticed a gap in the lack of
programming for particular age groups. We did not have a strong engineering design
component for the 6th ‐8th grade population. NSBE reached out to the Ten80 education
program to form a partnership to provide programming for this population.
As a part of evaluating our curriculum and programming for our students, a programmatic
shift is moving towards competitions that involve a year round aspect of programming for
the students. We would like to provide activities that gauge constant interest from the
students rather than competitions that are only offered at the convention level with no type
of curriculum during the year. The Ten80 program is strong in curriculum and really
bridges the gaps in the current NSBE programming.
Our goal is to provide activities that will foster the interest of engineering within the
students. NSBE has the unique advantage to be able to partner with quality organizations.
These partnerships help NSBE ensure that the organization is providing top notch material
to our students that will give them the cutting edge advantage when applying for college.

INTRODUCTION TO NSBE
NSBE
The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) was founded in 1975 by six black
engineering students at Purdue University nicknamed the Chicago 6. The original
aspiration was to establish a student organization to help improve the recruitment and
retention of black engineering students. NSBE is now the largest student‐managed
organization in the United States with more than 25,000 members.
NSBE is comprised of more than 300 chapters on college and university campuses, 75
Alumni Extension chapters nationwide and 298 NSBE Jr. chapters. These chapters are
geographically divided into six regions. The NSBE mission is to increase the number of
culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and
positively impact the community. For more information on NSBE, please
visit www.nsbe.org.
In fulfillment of the NSBE objective to “stimulate and develop student interest in the
various engineering disciplines”, the partnership with the TEN80 program created for pre‐
college students.
PCI
The Pre‐College Initiative (PCI) Program is the focus of the NSBE effort to promote college,
academics, technology, and leadership to pre‐college students. Our primary focus is to
encourage students in grades 6‐12 to develop interest in Science, Technology, Engineering
and Mathematics (STEM).
The mission of PCI is to lead the world in enhancing the pre‐college students' academic,
technical, and leadership skills in order to maximize their success in life. The vision is to
establish PCI as an incubator for our youth, where they can be nurtured and guided in their
academic careers.
NSBE Jr.
A vital component of the PCI program is NSBE Jr., which serves as the membership category
for pre‐college students and institutions that are officially chartered with NSBE. NSBE Jr.
members and chapters are at the core of PCI, as they are the primary focus and
beneficiaries of PCI programs such as NSBE Nascar Ten80.
NSBE Jr. focuses on enhancing the education received by African‐American and other
minority pre‐college students, as well as influencing these students to become tomorrow's
corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders. In this spirit, NSBE Jr. is the
quintessential recruitment, teaching, and preparation device for the NSBE.

INTRODUCTION TO NSBE NASCAR TEN-80
The Ten80 Student Racing Challenge: NASCAR STEM Initiative™ is a league in which
middle and high school students* practice the art of being professionals. Young men and
women, supported by a community of mentors and educators, collaborate and compete in
ways that mirror business & marketing executives, engineers, technicians, green
transportation designers and professional motorsports teams
Middle school students in 6th – 8th grade will compete using electric radio controlled
(RC) cars to create products and work together in ways that parallel the arduous
preparation of NASCAR teams in the weeks, months and years leading up to each
race. Student teams showcase their work and compete over the internet, locally and
nationally in categories including project management, race engineering, aerodynamic
design, alternative energy, creative engineering and graphic design.
Teams earn points and gain feedback from remote STEM mentors via the Student
Racing Challenge website. Point leaders earn invitations to the National Finals hosted in
May of each year. Events are listed at Ten80's Facebook site.

NSBE NASCAR TEN80 COMPETITION
Student Racing Challenge for Middle Grades comes in three booklets (for no reason other
than to keep them small and convenient). Ten80 Student Racing Challenge for Middle
Schools provides a competition guide for students in grades 6 ‐ 8. This guide is available
upon completion of registration through Ten80.
It is a combination of Math2go Challenges using the 1:16 scale RC car and grade
appropriate versions of Ten80 Student Racing Challenge investigations and projects using
the 1:10 scale RC car. Math2Go provides a strong foundation of problem solving skills and
math & science concepts using the ‘small’ RC car that is easier to control than the ‘big’ car.
Also made specifically for Middle School is a Forces & Motion unit for the science class and
a math unit using the TI‐73 from Texas Instruments. Download them at the Ten80 team
web site.
Optional TEAM activities are intended for the Career & Tech and/or after school setting.
These activities are focused on marketing and project management activities for which
competing Ten80 Student Racing Challenge teams can earn league points.Suggested Scope & Sequence
