Gear up for an exciting journey where science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) meet the thrill of driving! This unique afterschool program combines hands-on STEM learning with driving lessons using Ninebot GoKarts, offering students an engaging and interactive experience. Participants will explore key STEM concepts like speed, acceleration, force, and friction through real-world experiments and activities, discovering how these principles power modern transportation. At the same time, they’ll learn safe driving techniques, including steering, braking, and navigating obstacle courses, all while developing precision and quick decision-making skills. Students will also analyze performance data from their GoKarts to connect classroom learning to real-world applications, solving challenges and enhancing the driving experience. Perfect for curious minds and future innovators, this program provides an exciting opportunity to combine STEM exploration with the adventure of driving.
Students will have weekly driving time using the class Go Kart. Each week, new racing techniques will be explored. Students will be provided with safety equipment, such as racing helmet and gloves for driving. Each participant will receive the GoKart STEM Session 1.0 build/STEM manual! Sorry, this time they wont get to keep the car!
