Dragster 2.0

Where STEM Meets the Road

A standards-based curriculum and state-of-the-art engineering tools guide students through an engaging, realistic product development process capped by a very cool virtual race -- all before building their actual racers.

A 3-D model, complete with Pitsco wheels, axles, and bearings is literally developed in minutes! The simplicity of the modeling process puts focus where it belongs - learning critically important science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). And its completely web-based ... how cool is that?

Research
: What's the secret to better, faster cars? Its not magic or luck ... its science. In this section, your students will find all the theory they need, as well as plenty of activities and tools to put it to action. Plenty of tutorials will ensure that they are well prepared for the remaining sections.
Design: Engineers know their science -- that's for sure. But they also have great tools to help them visualize their design in 3D. In this section, your students will use our custom, built-in CAD system to create 3D models on screen and quickly choose between various axles, bearings, and wheels.
Analysis: In this section, your students work with a number of built-in tools to see how well their design stands up to the scientific principles presented in the Research section. This stuff is really neat, but it won't make much sense if they haven't completed their Research!
Outputs: When your students have completed their design, they'll need Print Templates to cut out their car. Or, if you have a CNC router, they'll need an STL file. These items, along with Design Specification and Bill of Material reports, can all be found in the Outputs section.
Virtual Race: Ready for some fun? In the Virtual Race, your students race their car against their classmates -- virtually. Got a fast trigger finger? Doesn't matter here ... the key to this race is applied science.
Build and Test: Now that we've conquered the virtual world, its time to build and test a real car. In this section, your students find instructions and tips to build a quality design.

Teacher-Directed Curriculum

The learning system puts teachers in control. Teachers can adjust the content level to meet the varied learning needs of Middle and High School students. Achievement and performance reports help teachers guide student learning.

Standards-based, STEM Knowledge

The application encompasses a high quality standards-based curriculum that enhances the development of fundamental science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) knowledge.

Comprehensive Suite of Tools

The system contains a fully integrated suite of CAD, analysis, and content delivery tools - all within a common, easy-to-use interface.

Time, Focus, and Confidence

Students have time to focus on making theory actionable. This enables learning, and ultimately yields confidence.

Exciting Web 2.0 Interface

Because the system is web-based, its accessible from anywhere. Its also built with the most advanced web-based tools available. This provides teachers with the flexibility they deserve, and students with the "wow factor" they expect.

Dragster 2.0 is a web-based product. For details, View System Requirements.
