The LRTC Student Racing Challenge (9th-12th Grade) is a STEM-focused summer camp developed for local high school students to experience science, technology, engineering, and math.
Over the week of June 24, students apply STEM concepts to develop – and ultimately race – a fully operational, radio-controlled (RC) car. The RC car can be setup in over 14 million ways without re-engineering a single part!
Students engage in race engineering concepts with lessons focusing on energy, electricity, and laws of motion. Students also learn to use simple tools and instruments. All concepts converge on Race Day Friday!
This is such a fantastic STEM initiative—giving high school students hands-on experience with engineering, physics, and electronics by building and racing their own RC car is exactly the kind of project that sparks lifelong curiosity and career interest. The fact that students can configure the car in over 14 million ways without re-engineering a single part really highlights the power of modular, systems-based thinking. For those who catch the racing bug and want to explore a ready-to-run RC car that delivers impressive performance straight out of the box, the mjx hyper go series is a great option. You can see the full collection of mjx rc vehicles on my site at mjxrccars.com. Thanks for sharing this wonderful program—and good luck…
