What do science education and sports car racing have in common? Hundreds of kids and parents will find out this Sunday, August 18, during the Pure Michigan 400 Sprint Cup race, as FIRST and 3M team up with #16-Greg Biffle, to ignite kids passion in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Families will rally around the track in Brooklyn, Mich. to watch Biffle race the #16 Ford Fusion, vying for a winning spot with just four races left before the season cut-off. During this race, Biffle will prominently display the red, white and blue FIRST logo on the hood of his car. FIRST is a not-for-profit that inspires kids to pursue careers in STEM via intense, fun robotic competitions and Biffle is helping the organization and its Sponsor, 3M, educate families about the exciting career connection between science and sports. FIRST is the only not-for-profit that offers more than $16 million in scholarships to high-school participants.( usfirst.org ), see an image of the scheme on the #16 Team Schemes page .
