NOW through the end of RC Car race day, we're racing to raise $5,000! All donations will be matched 1:1, providing more unique learning experiences for local youth. CLICK HERE to donate now!
The RC Custom Car Open is an engineering and design competition for K-8 students, organized and led by a dedicated high school student committee. Over eight weeks, teams of 2-4 students engage in hands-on learning through weekly workshops and open lab sessions, where they're challenged to design, fabricate and customize their remote control car.
Each team builds technical skills with exposure to high-tech Fab Lab equipment, including laser cutters, vinyl cutters and 3D printers, fostering creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking along the way. The program culminates in an epic design competition and action-packed two-track race day, with cash and scholarship prizes awarded to the winners. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience innovation, teamwork and friendly competition like never before!
Thank you to our generous 2025 sponsors!
