THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE FASTER YOU GO!
Driving STEM Challenges introduce students to data-driven problem-solving strategies based on math modeling through the excitement of racing. Students own a motorsports team that strives to engineer performance on the track, in research & development (R&D), and in the team’s “board room”. Their core technology is an electric, radio-controlled (RC) car that is easy for young learners to operate in a classroom setting. With building materials and an innovative mindset, Driving STEM teams optimize how, and how well vehicles operate and deliver.
