South Amherst students race in STEM derby at Akron
The 2016 Falcons Racing Team from South Amherst Middle School builds and tests two gravity race cars for the All-American Soap Box Derby facility in Akron. Sixth to eighth graders, led by Chuck Latto, will compete May 14 against 100 plus teams, aiming for precise measurements, straight runs, and speeds up to 35 mph. Leah Harris and Emily Campbell, both 12, highlight the team as they learn physics and teamwork through pre-made kit parts and 1,000-foot track tests.
