Building a pipeline to enter the motorsports industry is the mission of the STEAM Sports Foundation. One of our scholarship recipients, Jayda Jenkins, a mechanical engineering student at UT San Antonio is making headway with her internship at MARTIN Technologies - Martin Motorsports, founded by engineer @haroldmartin377. Earlier this month, Jayda played a key role in supporting engine calibration and reviewing fuel and air pump data to help improve run and driver performance for two drivers in both the @nhra and @ihradragracing! Watching from the start line at Michigan’s @daranadragwaymilan, she said, “Nothing at all could have prepared me for how loud it was. I felt the burnout in my bones.” One of the drivers took the victory in his class! “I’m thankful to the STEAM Sports Foundation and Martin Technologies to have all this exposure.” Off track, Jayda’s internship with Martin Technologies has given her opportunities to work on and learn OEM product design, driver sponsorship, and manufacturing processes. When asked about her dream career in motorsports, “There’s so many branches of motorsports. I’ve truly just scratched the surface, but I would love to build a car for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.” STEAM Sports Foundation helps our scholarship recipients see and experience the possibilities of a career in motorsports. A real PIONEER ENGINEER – go Jayda!
