LEARN THE FAST WAY
Developed in collaboration with Chicago Heights School District 170, the Accelerate STEM Academy, with a curriculum aligned with Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards, brings together complete lessons in science, math, physics, and mechanics at the racing-themed entertainment centers that feature Formula 1-inspired electric pro-karts that can reach speeds up to 50 miles per hour.
Designed and created by experienced STEM educators, the Academy serves students in grades 3-12 and provides a hands-on, 21st century experiential learning opportunity to apply what they’ve learned while driving a go-kart on the race track.
While Accelerate Indoor Speedway appeals to all ages, our team makes a special commitment to youth. In addition to the STEM Academy, the tracks have partnered with Special Olympics and conducted safe driving initiatives for high school students in each of their local markets.
