Crazy about autonomous cars – or driven mad by traffic? Iowa State University’s Institute for Transportation offers an engaging set of resources to learn about research and careers in the world of transportation.

Go! Magazine, a free, online e-zine in English and Spanish is aimed at teens. There’s also a blog on such topics as self-driving cars, a web-comic series, Dot’s Adventures in Transportation, interviews, scholarship database, and profiles of inventors like actress Hedy Lamarr, whose research led to the development of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) for navigation.
