Kids Racing To Learn
We are fortunate to have the backing of some of the greatest minds and participates not only on the educational side of STEM Racing, but the history and inner workings of drag racing and car mechanics. Experts in motor builds, race transmissions, tuning, etc. will be participating as STEM Racing guest speakers and instructors.
Students will have the opportunity to visit mechanical engineering shops, auto body and detail facilities, as well as visiting the pits of some of the greatest names in drag racing. It is our goal not only to offer classroom instruction, but hands-on applications and experiences.
We mix passion, academia, and excite students to learn, this is how we teach. We integrate and inspire at STEM Racing.
