Start your engines! “RoboRacers 2.0” is designed for the grade 2-5 student combining the engaging power of Sphero Indi robot with the thrill, speed, force and science learning potential through racing. Students will explore block coding, critical problem-solving, track designing, speed optimization, physical science (force, motion, momentum, inertia) and team collaboration—exploring real NASCAR strategies and real track engineering concepts. All while using hands-on robotics. Participants will have weekly challenges, design their own track, compete against other teams and try to better their race time each week…landing in victory lane with a student awards ceremony! The 2.0 version promotes curiosity, strategy, and tactics. All students are welcome – no experience necessary. Taught by Mountain View’s STEM Specialist, Dr. Z! Our Community Partners: NASCAR and EchoPark Speedway.
