The 2008 Educational Program
On May 5, 2008 from 10:30am until 2:30pm we will be holding the Formula Hybrid Educational Program for high school students who are interested in learning more about Formula Hybrid, Hybrid vehicles and Hybrid innovation. This is a great learning opportunity!
The college teams have prepared diagrams and information about their cars and will be explaining the inner workings of their hybridized vehicles to young scientists from the surrounding area. If you have students who may be interested I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to see hybrid cars up close.
Students are free to ask questions about each car, how it works, the hybrid process, the individual college/university etc. Students are welcome to observe any of the static events such as the Design and Technical Inspection. They are also welcome to watch the Formula Hybrid vehicle testing once vehicles have passed the Technical Safety Inspection.
Logistics
- The Educational Program will be held on Monday, May 5th from 10:30am-2:30pm at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (formally the N.H International Speedway) in Loudon, NH (get directions).
- You must contact Jessica Potter to sign up for a time slot for your school.
- All Students must sign a NHMS Minor Consent Waiver. You may download this form (PDF) from our website and make copies of it so that your students can sign them before you get to the Speedway. If you are unable to download the two-part waiver please contact Jessica Potter. This waiver must be signed by all students who wish to attend this event.

After collecting the waivers you will be pointed in the direction of the Center Garages where you will see a sign for School Bus Parking, park there.
