On track

Having his feet in two different worlds defines Dalton Kellett, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션�15, whether he카지노 게임 컬렉션�s the IndyCar driver screaming around the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 385 kilometres per hour or the engineer inspiring schoolchildren to go into STEM programs.

For Mr. Kellett, it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s about balancing his Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s engineering foundation with his driving experience and finding ways to get the most out of both in different situations.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�People will ask me, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�How does the engineering stuff sort of help your career?카지노 게임 컬렉션� and it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s kind of gone both ways,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Mr. Kellett says.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�When I was in school, I think I was really trying to be super technical about everything, but as I got older and matured, I was able to better identify where the engineering mindset is helpful and then where I have to be a driver, and it just took me time to kind of figure that out, but it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s part of the process.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

By the time Mr. Kellett enrolled at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, he already had several years of racing under his belt and hoped to pursue his studies without knocking his burgeoning driving career off track. While he found his professors open to his desire to keep one foot on the gas and the other in class, they made the priority clear: academics come first.

Luckily, those two worlds collided perfectly in the university카지노 게임 컬렉션�s program, where students design and build a race car and then compete against other schools from around the world.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Obviously, what you learn in class is critical, but having a practical application where you can use those lessons right away is a great way to reinforce what you카지노 게임 컬렉션�re learning 카지노 게임 컬렉션� at least for how my mind works,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Mr. Kellett says.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I was into math and physics, but I just had never really considered computer programming. But once I realized what we could do with it as far as some analysis on the Formula SAE car, it piqued my interest and then it was almost a way of inspiring me to do better in my academic classes by seeing a practical application.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

As an IndyCar driver, Mr. Kellett uses that role to inspire youngsters in the U.S. to pursue math and science through his work as a brand ambassador for the InterNational STEM League and the iNSL iRacing Student Innovation Challenge.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�If you카지노 게임 컬렉션�re a public figure, I believe that you have some imperative to use that which has been given to you to kind of help out a bit and you have to choose a cause and, for me, that카지노 게임 컬렉션�s STEM and education and I think we could all benefit a little bit from that,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Mr. Kellett says.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve really enjoyed the opportunity to use my platform to hopefully inspire kids to go into STEM and give back a little bit,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says.

The 28-year-old from Stouffville, Ont., embarked on his second full season with A.J. Foyt Racing in February. Although all teams use the same specification car, the rules allow development in certain areas, which can put smaller-budget teams like A. J. Foyt Racing at a disadvantage. That카지노 게임 컬렉션�s why Mr. Kellett카지노 게임 컬렉션�s spot on the starting grid for May카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Indianapolis 500 remains far from guaranteed, because more cars than the 33 available spots usually show up to qualify. Although Mr. Kellett made it into the 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Greatest Spectacle in Racing카지노 게임 컬렉션� in his two previous qualifying attempts, one of his teammates missed the cut last year. In his two starts in the 200-lap race, he finished 31st in 2020 due an accident and then 23rd last year.

Although his immediate focus is racing and using his engineering background to help get the most from his car, Mr. Kellett dreams that his degree will help him get both feet out of this world altogether.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Realistically, once I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m done driving, I think I카지노 게임 컬렉션�d want a different challenge in a different industry and racing may be something I come back to later in life,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m passionate [about] and fascinated by aerospace and space travel, so if the Canadian Space Agency is ever hiring, I think maybe I카지노 게임 컬렉션�d throw an application in. With my racing and technical background, I think there카지노 게임 컬렉션�s probably more crossover in those two fields of work than people realize. It would be a fun career path, but obviously a very small group of people get to do that.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
