🥔💨 Spud Speedway: Build It. Race It. Win Bragging Rights!

Get ready for one of the most unexpectedly awesome STEM challenges around! At Spud Speedway, students will turn an ordinary potato into an extraordinary racing machine. Each participant will get a potato, wheels, and a variety of materials to design, customize, and engineer their very own spud racer.

Then comes the best part—race day! Launch your potato car down the track and see how your design stacks up. Do bigger wheels give you an edge? Does extra weight slow you down or make you unstoppable? There’s only one way to find out: build, test, tweak, and race again.

This is hands-on learning at its most fun—full of creativity, problem-solving, laughs, and a little friendly competition. Don’t miss your chance to race a potato and discover the science of motion in the most memorable way possible! 🚀🥔
