STEM Racing Curricular Connections

The STEM Racing Competition directly aligns with curricular requirements across all the Ontario provinces and territories by integrating core elements of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into a hands-on, inquiry-based learning experience. Students engage in designing, testing, and optimizing vehicles, which supports curriculum expectations related to scientific investigation, technological problem-solving, mathematical modeling, and engineering design processes. This dynamic approach reinforces cross-curricular competencies and fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation, which are key learning outcomes emphasized in each province’s educational framework. Below, you will find specific curriculum connections demonstrating this alignment.
