Overview

The Teen Car Control Clinic (TCCC) gives students real-world, hands-on experience behind the wheel of their own cars.  Students go through training that includes, but not limited to: skid control, emergency stops, reverse driving, parallel parking, hazard avoidance, freeway merging, and much more.  NASA hosts these events because it’s our belief that we can make the streets safer for everyone, and at the same time, save the lives of inexperienced drivers.  More teens are killed in auto accidents each year than by any other means.  It is our mission to prevent as many avoidable accidents as possible.
