A turnkey, standards-aligned program that makes physics and engineering tangible — and fundable.
Any teacher with enthusiasm — no motorsport background needed. We provide the playbook.
Sign up for $30 and order a starter kit. Budget roughly $1,300 for a complete car.
Use our build guide and curriculum to take students from chassis to track.
Pass inspection and shake the car down before your first regional event.
Show up to a nearby regional, drop the green flag, and join the community.
Energy, power, friction, aerodynamics and Newton’s laws — measured on a real vehicle, on a real track.
Design, CAD, fabrication, welding and electrical wiring map directly to CTE pathway competencies.
Telemetry, lap analysis and energy budgeting turn math and statistics into race-winning decisions.
Because a car costs around $1,300 — not tens of thousands — Electrathon is realistic to fund through the channels schools already use.
- STEM & CTE grants — the curriculum alignment makes a strong case
- Local business sponsorships — put logos on the bodywork
- PTA, booster clubs and community fundraisers
No. Many of our most successful advisors teach subjects unrelated to engineering. We provide a complete build guide, curriculum, and a regional director to support your first season. Your job is to keep students organized and curious.
Team membership is $30 for the season. A complete, competitive car can be built for as little as $1,300, and a starter kit covers most of the hardware. That’s a fraction of comparable student motorsports.
Most teams build during a semester as a club or class project — a few hours a week. The build scales to whatever time you have, and the car is reusable season to season.
Yes. Cars run at modest speeds on closed courses, every vehicle passes a safety tech inspection, and drivers wear approved helmets and gear. Roll protection and braking standards are built into the rules.
There’s a role for everyone — design, fabrication, electrical, data, pit crew, driving and team management. Programs range from a handful of students to large clubs running multiple cars.
