Fast Track Science©
Where the elite meet to teach!
The National Science Center is building a talented cadre of math,
science, and technology professionals to work with America’s youth. An
action-packed experience you’ll talk about for years awaits you at The
Fast Track.
Fast
Track Science (FTS) is a fun, engaging, and hands-on kit-based curriculum
targeting 4th-8th grade students. FTS is available in two formats, 1)
week-long summer camp, and 2) an after school program (33+ hours of
instruction). FTS uses radio-controlled cars to teach math and science
concepts with a race car theme, using real-world applications.
Students participate in team-based challenges using manipulative
materials (tape measures, digital scales, stop watches, and
radio-controlled cars) that demand the real process of science using the
real application of math.
The curriculum includes national standards, pre and post assessments, videos, and student and teacher surveys. The curriculum/kit is designed for a maximum of 24 students divided into 6 teams of 4 students each. Materials include an inflatable ramp with air pump, remote-controlled cars, digital scales, stopwatches, calculators, tape measures, markers and a few other consumable materials. Train whenever and wherever you like via an online training presentation and receive guidance as needed to help your program be a success. We ask that you please return the pre/post assessments and the student/teacher surveys for our program to be a success. This feedback is critical to the future of the program
Newton’s Laws of Motion and relevant physics terminology are demonstrated as they relate to race car driving and keeping the car on the track. You never knew math and science could be so much fun!
