Inspiring STEM through a unique challenge: to design, build and race an electric kit car.

DESIGN

The Project will focus on learning and using Computer Aided Design (CAD) to develop The Kit Car’s bodywork, specifically on its overall design and aerodynamics.

BUILD

Once the chassis and components are installed and the bodywork design is complete The Race Team will then build the bodywork. Shaping and forming the chosen materials of construction.

TEAMWORK

Our project does everything as a team; all decisions are mad by a vote and going with the majority. Every racer gets an equal amount of racing time.

RACE

Every race is planned before we leave. For when the drivers aren’t in the car we give each racer a designated job.
