SRQ DAILY THURSDAY FAMILY AND RECREATION EDITION
THURSDAY JAN 8, 2026 |
Registration is now open for the 11th Annual RC Custom Car Open hosted by the Suncoast Science Center/Faulhaber Fab Lab. This hands on engineering competition invites students in grades K-8 to team up, customize a remote-control car, and race through an all-new theme: Four Seasons. Teams of 2-4 students will design, test, and adapt their cars over eight weeks of workshops, using real Fab Lab tools like laser cutters, 3D printers, and vinyl cutters. Along the way, racers collaborate closely, strengthening creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills as they respond to changing conditions, just like real engineers. Led by a dedicated high school student committee, the RC Car Competition is a beloved community tradition that has sold out every year for the last decade. Learn more and register now at www.suncoastscience.org/rc-car.
