Railroad Model Competition 2024/2025
Railroad Model Competition 2024/2025
In our Railroad Competition, students are divided into teams and tasked with designing their own railroad track models. The goal is to create a system that is both fuel-efficient and cost-effective while ensuring optimal travel routes.
This exciting opportunity not only engages students in hands-on problem-solving but also encourages social interaction and teamwork. Through this experience, students gain valuable insights into engineering practices and enhance their research and writing skills.
Registration is now open! Each kit, which includes all the supplies needed to build a competitive train model, normally costs nearly $1,000. However, it's FREE for the first 30 schools to register.
