A National Guard representative will bring a HUMVEE to your school, demonstrate the vehicle's innovation and technology, and involve the students in a hands-on preventive maintenance check. The students love the hands-on aspect and it gives them a glimpse into the work routine of a National Guard mechanic or HUMVEE driver, as well as the engineering and technology of this impressive work-horse vehicle.
From automotive engineering, to vehicle maintenance, the HUMVEE School Program exposes students to numerous career paths within the automotive field. Learning about the HUMVEE's history and technology is a unique learning experience, especially for students interested in vehicle maintenance careers.
The HUMVEE School Program can help your school meet state & national curriculum standards.
HUMVEE School Program also meets NATEF (National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation) Curriculum Connections standards.
Q: Is this a high risk activity where I have to worry about a student getting hurt?
No. The Guard HUMVEE instructors work with this vehicle all the time and they take all safety precautions. The activity will not place your students at risk.
If you wish, it can certainly be a footnote as the presentation wraps-up. When storms, floods, and disasters occur, the National Guard is there to help. When there is no flood, we still need good people to learn to be good Guard members - ready to serve.
