A mentorship program based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is teaching teams of high school students how to work on motorcycles.

While that’s the big picture–for the immediate short term effects, teams of students from schools will be invited to design and build flat track racing motorcycles that meet American Motorcyclist Association specifications.
