BMX STEM/STEAM Programs
Leading The Way In STEM & Physical Fitness
In this project-based program, students use BMX bikes to perform various experiments while learning and applying critical concepts from nearly all STEM disciplines:
-
Measurement
-
Estimation
-
Prototyping
-
Building
-
Geometry
-
Physics
-
Sketching
-
Engineering Design Process
-
Teamwork
-
Statistics
-

-
Hypothesis-building
Best suited for elementary school students grades 3-5, the program can be adjusted to fit middle school grades 6-8. The six (6) module curriculum is equal parts education, athletics, and exercise. Students use BMX bikes to perform various experiments to explore the world of STEAM, all while learning the basic fundamentals of BMX cycling and racing.
The flexible modules are designed to be used in a variety of settings, including school day, after-school, as well as summer camps and programs.
*Note: All Curriculum will be shipped separately Via Fedex.
The program is aligned with many state S.T.E.M. standards, including NGSS, and incorporates a pre/post-testing element that assists with outcome-based reporting. A team, including a former BMX Racer with a Ph.D. in Science Education, wrote the curriculum.
The program uses 40 hours of class time
Funding for the program is traditionally secured through grants, donations and sponsors.
