Project
A year-long programme empowering teams to build a racing kart, learn the associated STEM theory and race against competing schools.
An immersive educational initiative which transforms traditional learning, fostering practical skills and a passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
Embark on a thrilling STEM journey with STEM On Track, where students Build, Learn, and Race!
Alongside these 3 core components students have the opportunity to discover career opportunities in STEM fields, and engage with other schools.
Cost
The cost for the Kart (easily dismantled and reusable year on year) is £3150 and the price for the Learning Management System and courses is £2825.
However you will receive significant help from the provider in securing sponsorship, potentially making the programme free and ensuring sustainability year-on year.
Book a free 30 minute consultation with the provider to discuss how they can tailor the programme specifically to your school and provide further detail on the intricacies of the STEM On Track project.
