The Ten80 Student Racing Challenge is an in-school and after-school science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) curriculum and optional competition league adopted by schools in 29 states. Combining Project Exploration’s student-centered approach to youth science and the Ten80 racing kits and curriculum, students at select CPS schools will spend the school year gaining hands-on exposure to the connection between motorsports, technology careers, and a lifelong commitment to hands-on and brains-on learning.
Schools looking to host Ten80 activities through Project Exploration in 2014-2015 are asked to review this RFP and apply no later than October 22, 2014. Attendance at the Ten80 Expo (below) is also required.
