Grand Prix Garage
Build the car, design the livery and race for the podium.
About
Grand Prix Garage turns each team into a racing outfit with its own garage. The task is to build an almost full-size race car from a self-assembly kit in a tight time frame.
Once the car is built, teams switch to styling, decorating it with colors, mock sponsor logos and team branding so it stands out on track. Some teams go for speed, others for style, and the best manage both.
Then it is race day. Cars line up on the grid, the checkered flag drops and they are off, each with one driver at the wheel while teammates push it down the track.
Quick pit stops can decide the result, so teams practice their routine before the main race. A podium ceremony celebrates the top three teams in style.
Learning outcomes
Teams must assign roles carefully and work closely across different skills so the build stays on plan and on time. Clear roles keep people from getting in each other's way. Short check-ins keep everyone aligned.
It is a demanding project that needs commitment from every team member. Teams that plan their steps before building usually finish with time to spare. Every pair of hands counts.
Styling the car lets everyone show their creative side and leave their mark on the final design.
Because the race can be won or lost in the pits, teams practice and improve their process, learning how small gains add up. The race fuels friendly competition, the podium gives everyone something to cheer, and the finished cars make great team photos.
