Local students encouraged to pursue career in mechanics through ABEC drive
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Local students put their mechanics knowledge to the test.
Middle school students from San Luis, Somerton and Yuma participated in a race featuring radio-controlled cars.
The goal is to motivate kids to pursue a career in mechanics.
"It gives them the opportunity to learn about mechanics adjustments for suspensions and this is something they can do in the future as a career so it gives them a start for that future and that career," said Walter Flores, Somerton Middle School instructional strategist.
The Arizona Business and Education Coalition is planning to have more events to involved more students from other schools in Yuma County.
