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.

THE MISSION OF NSBE
The Mission of NSBE is to increase the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community. THE PURPOSE OF NSBE NASCAR TEN-80
The purpose of the NSBE NASCAR Ten80 competition is to increase Black students’ capabilities when preparing for advanced and college prep classes for high school. It will allow them to get a jump start on college academics and critical thinking to aid in his or her development as a future engineer. CONTRIBUTIONS TO NSBE NASCAR TEN­80 Contributions to NSBE NASCAR TEN80 will help us continue to make this an effective NSBE program available to NSBE Jr. students nationwide. NSBE PCI will use contributions for program‐wide support to give all NSBE Jr. students the opportunity to participate.

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. For more information on PCI and NSBE Jr. please visit: www.nsbe.org/precollege. 2012-2013 NSBE NASCAR TEN 80 PARTICIPATION GUIDE

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. www.studentracingchallenge.com *Please note at this time NSBE is only sponsoring kits for middle school participation.

National AE Programs Zone
IMPAK Registration Registration on IMPAK includes providing information in regards to the team list, student Information and a brief survey on each student, which should be completed PRIOR to participation. The Post‐Test will be sent out after the completion of National Convention. Completing all of the information in the IMPAK is vital to the success of the program and is used to track student progress throughout the year. The IMPAK Registration will be used to send your information to Ten80 to gain access to the competition curriculum and to know where Ten80 needs to ship the kit. All forms are located on IMPAK and must be submitted PRIOR to participation. Please see the Critical Dates section for important dates. Awards, Trophies, and Scholarships
NSBE Ten80 teams who come to the national conference to participate in the NSBE NASCAR Ten80 will not receive any awards, trophies, or scholarships. The winning NSBE Ten80 team will earn the right to represent NSBE at the NASCAR Ten80 National Finals in May 2013. The stipend for the winning team to represent NSBE will vary based off of the amount of donations and funding received into the program through the year. 2012-2013 NSBE NASCAR TEN 80 PARTICIPATION GUIDE

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
