Over the last decade, Ten80's educators, engineers and community partners have developed the Student Racing Challenge cirriculum, competition and support coalation that broadens interest in STEM, improves academic achievement and fosters competent, creative and critical thinking.
At their core, Student Racing Challenge teams engineer fast, stable cars. From that central mission however, your team's direction is open for student-led innovation as a school-wide industry that can include the fields of robotics, renewable energies and web applications.
Teams earn points and gain feedback from remote STEM mentors via the Student Racing Challenge website. Points leaders earn invitations to the National Finals hosted in May of each year. In a growing number of regions, teams gather face-to-face for Regional Finals to earn a trip to the National Finals. Events are listed at Ten80's Facebook site.
Thanks to U.S. Army sponsorship, the new Monthly Creative Engineering Challenge is available to everyone. You do not have to be registered for the Student Racing Challenge league to collaborate, create and compete in this new mini-series. Learn more and sign up here...
