Would they like to learn on the beautiful South Dakota State University campus (in Brookings, South Dakota) through interactive, fun and hands-on activities? Do they want to explore opportunities in the transportation sector and consider it as a career? Then, the South Dakota State University’s National Summer Transportation Institute (NSTI) camp may be right for them!
