Gamified STEM · LATAM · Ages 4–25

The physics lesson that goes 50 km/h.

Your child builds it, tunes it, drives it and races it — and learns the gearing, the forces and the math that decide who wins.

Watch it in action

Only 10 spots per age bracket, per season — so reserve your spot.

See it

Ninety seconds is usually enough.

Parents ask what this actually looks like. This is it — real sessions, real machines, real students.

Why it works

STEM without a purpose doesn't stick.

A gear ratio is a fraction on a worksheet until changing it wins or loses the next heat. Then it is the most interesting thing in the room.

1

They touch the physics

Every idea is tested on a track and recorded as a number. Predict, run, measure, explain — that is the whole method, repeated ten times.

2

Competition supplies the reason

The curriculum supplies the means to win. Neither works alone, which is why this holds attention where a worksheet does not.

3

Nobody sits on the bench

Driver, mechanic, data analyst, media — roles rotate every session, so every temperament finds a way to be good at something.

The curriculum

Four subjects, ten sessions, one machine.

Track I is where every student starts. The physics is real, the math is real, and the results are written down in the student's own handwriting.

  • Gearing & ratios — pinion to spur, torque against top speed, mechanical advantage they can feel in their hands.
  • Center of mass & stability — ride height, weight transfer, and the physics of not flipping on the corner.
  • Speed & kinematics — distance over time, acceleration, telemetry measured against their own prediction.
  • Projectile motion — launch angle, velocity and trajectory, used to call the landing point before the jump.
Trajectory, velocity and height annotated on an RC truck jumping a ramp

Students calculate the landing point before the run, then measure how close they were.

Camber, ride height, oil weight — recorded on a setup sheet and marked like a lab book.

Four minutes. Then you'll know.

Answer six quick questions, hand the phone to your child, and let them play three short challenges. You get back a Driver Card showing what we saw, the division that fits, and exactly what Track I covers at their age. It costs nothing and there is no losing screen.

By age

The same challenge. A different standard of success.

Four divisions across ages 4 to 25. A seven-year-old and a sixteen-year-old work on the same machine, on the same course — and both are stretched.

How it runs

Ten sessions. Ten students. Everything supplied.

10 sessions

One a week over ten weeks — timed to fit your school's activity calendar.

10 students

One small group per age bracket, run as two teams of five — and only one group per bracket each season. Small enough that nobody hides.

Full fleet supplied

Machines, tools, instruments and safety gear are all provided. You bring nothing but your child.

Master Challenge

A final event across all four subjects, plus a student-made video reel their whole school can watch.

Only 10 spots per age bracket, per season — so reserve your spot.

What they leave with

A skill, not an activity.

By completing Track I, a student will have learned the basics of driving and mechatronics needed to move on to Track II and join The GRS Checkered Cup!

They earn their way up a wristband ladder — RED → YELLOW → GREEN → CHECKERED — and the GREEN license makes them eligible for The GRS Checkered Cup, our interscholastic racing league.

Where your fee goes

Your child's place also contributes to open one for financially challenged students.

A defined share of every course fee goes into the GRS Access Fund. It does two things, and we publish the numbers every season so you can check them.

Free places in the program Students from public-sector and scholarship programs join GRS at no cost — competing under the same rules, on the same machines, for the same trophies. Competitors, not guests.
Paid technical work Higher-education students are paid to officiate and coach at GRS events. Real technical work that helps them meet the cost of their own studies — for many, the first time they are paid for it.
Higher-education students working on vehicle design
GRS collaborates with ITSE — Instituto Técnico Superior Especializado, whose students train in software, data science and industrial technology on a model that is 60% academic and 40% practical. For the free places, we are building partnerships with the foundations and public-sector programs that already work with Panama’s public schools — organizations that know these students and can nominate them. If you run one, we want to hear from you. Access places and paid roles are allocated against published criteria, never by private arrangement.

Parents ask

The questions we get most.

Does my child need any experience?

None at all. Most students have never held a transmitter. Session one starts with safety and control, and the first bracket is deliberately built so that a four-year-old can succeed at it.

Is it safe?

Yes. Machines run on limited throttle profiles for younger brackets, safety glasses are worn for all assembly and repair work, batteries are charged only at a supervised station, and an adult is within arm's reach of every transmitter in the youngest division.

Isn't this just more screen time?

The opposite. Sessions are entirely hands-on with real tools and real machines. The only screen involved is the one showing the telemetry from their own run.

What if my child isn't competitive?

Three disciplines are scored separately — driving, mechanics and innovation — so the student who is not the fastest driver can still be the best in the room at something. In the youngest division nothing is ranked at all.

Do we need to buy a machine?

Not for Track I Course. GRS supplies an identical fleet to every student. That is deliberate: it removes any advantage that could be bought, so results reflect the racer and not the household budget.

What happens after Track I?

Students earn a GREEN Racing License and become eligible for The GRS Checkered Cup — our interscholastic league — and can continue into Tracks II, III and IV: assembly and maintenance, competitive tuning, and pre-engineering and design.

Find out what your child is good at.

It takes four minutes, it is free, and they will enjoy it more than you expect.
