2008-09 ABCRI Box Car School Challenge
OVERVIEW
As a part of American Box Car Racing International's (ABCRI) educational program, we
are revamping our Box Car School Challenge. Our goal is to make this dynamic educational experience available to all interested age-appropriate students. As our next step, we are opening up this program to eight
elementary/middle schools with a maximum of two box cars per school. This one semester (spring 2009) program will culminate with our 3rd annual School Challenge Race to be held on May 15, 2009 at our box car facility in
Kunia.
The program (this year) is for 5th-7th graders and is a complete educational curriculum for one class of up to 30 students for one
semester.
The curriculum addresses Hawaii Content Performance Standards in math, science, language arts, engineering, and hands-on tech ed. The challenge is to assemble and finish the box car(s), then put your car(s) on the track competing against other participating schools. The box cars kits provided as a part of this educational package meet the ABCRI Competition Box Car and Floorboard Layout specifications.
COST
The normal fee for this program is $1,800 for a one box car package or $2,400 for a two box car package.
We are offering a pilot program discount of 33% off, which makes the cost $1,200 (1 box car) and $1,600 (2 box cars), respectively. P.O.s received by October 1, 2008 will receive an additional 10% discount (program fee = $1,080 or $1,440).
For as low as $36 per student, you can provide a dynamic, educational experience for one class of 30 students for one semester. Funds are payable to American Box Car Racing International (ABCRI).
Participation is limited to eight schools, with a maximum of two box cars each. In fairness to all, registration will be on a first-come-first-served basis, with program fee payment required to secure program
participation.
