Start your engine! 

Join us for a one-of-a-kind EPIC Lab experience where middle school racers become engineers for the day. In this Fast & Curious EPIC lab, students will design, build, and test their own mini vehicles while exploring the science behind speed. 

Using real engineering principles, students will: 

  • Design and shape their own vehicle from scratch  

  • Think like engineers using the engineering design process  

  • Race their creations and improve performance through testing  

Just like in real racing, it’s not just about speed but it’s about smart design, teamwork, and iteration!  

Why Join? 

  • Hands-on STEM experience  

  • Learn engineering through play  

  • Build confidence, creativity, and teamwork  

  • Experience the College of Engineering  

Design it. Test it. Race it.
