Course Detail: YES-6002 - Hot Wheels: Race to Win (Grades 6-8)

In Hot Wheels: Race to Win, students kick off Week 1 by mastering the fundamentals of motion, exploring how gravity and Newton's Laws interact with various track surfaces. Week 2 shifts the focus to "Speed By Design," where campers dive into aerodynamics and visual aesthetics to understand the forces that keep a car pinned to the track. The experience culminates in Week 3 with a high-octane competition, challenging participants to integrate every concept they've learned to build the ultimate track for distance, speed, and safety. It's a hands-on journey from basic physics to elite engineering, ending in a race to see whose design reigns supreme.
