Learn Twice Initiative
Crimson Racing participates in the Learn Twice Initiative with a local elementary school with the idea that “to teach is to learn twice.” This incredible program allows grade school students to explore STEM learning experiences and foster an interest in STEM careers. In the Spring of 2019, over a dozen Crimson Racing members worked with a 3rd class. This project had the young students to work as glider designers for a toy company, challenging them to prototype and design the toy based on customer needs.
