What they’re learning the Area Career Center’s automotive technology program benefit students, whether they go on to college or straight to work. But it also has made them winners at this year’s North American Auto Show Detroit. Instructors Ron Richards and Brelinski and 12 seniors earned the highest team score during the Tech Trek scavenger hunt on. 12 during the show’s Industry Day. The grand prize is automotive diagnostic tool valued at $It’s used to communicate with a vehicle to diagnose why those malfunction indicator lights have lit up on the dashboard. It’s pretty sweet, said Pondell, a senior from Grass Lake who teamed with Hanover-Horton’s Sprunger the hunt. I can’t wait to use it. This was the first year the career center program took a team to this competition, which is sponsored by Snap-On Tools and the Detroit Auto Dealers Association. We’re very proud, Richards said. A lot of schools had been there before, to show up for the first time and do well is a testament to our program here. The students split up into two-person teams and had 90 minutes to scour the auto show displays seeking the answers to 50 questions related to technology and vehicles. The questions covered things like how electric vehicle can travel on 85-watt battery and the gross weight of a new special edition pickup. We didn’t get any questions ahead of time, Brelinski said. They’re only developed the day before the contest by industry experts. The group did prepare by studying a map of the displays on their way to the show they could find their way around the exhibits. We would read all of the questions and find all of them that were at the area we were at and do them all at once while we were there, Pondell said. It was fun, but it was kind of hard not to get sidetracked by all the new cars. When it was over, Richards took first the instructor’s challenge and Brelinski took third. The team of Jared Pace of Concord and CJ Salkowski of Napoleon took second place the student challenge and Ryker Mast from and Turner Lawson from Waldron placed fifth. Students who went to the challenge had to earn their way based on grades, attendance, personality and work ethic, Brelinski said. These were not easy questions or things you could find on the surface, he said.You had to search for the answers and talk to the representatives at the displays to get others. The win is just added bonus to the education students the class get every day, Brelinski said. This is a good career to be all over the country right now, Brelinski said. Vehicles are more complicated and more expensive and people are holding onto their vehicles longer they have to have quality people to service them to keep them on the road.
