Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) are critical skills for youth. HotWheels® Speedometry® encourages inquiry and real-world, problem-based learning through hands-on activities. This free parent engagement opportunity encourages parent-child interaction while exploring STEM concepts, combining HotWheels fun, imagination, and action – as well as toys and track – to accelerate learning.
Speedometry is designed for families with students in grades 3 through 5, though modifications are available for younger children with parent/guardian involvement. Two hands-on challenges exploring STEM concepts like force and momentum are part of every event. A third experiment can be added if time permits.
Learning Objectives:
- Inspire children to develop an early interest in STEM
- Explore STEM concepts through “science through inquiry” play
- Provide hands-on investigation and engagement opportunities for all participants.
All materials are provided free of charge and each participant will take home a Hot Wheels® car, along with resources to extend the fun at home through family learning opportunities.
