(Laredo, Texas)-This summer, 5th and 6th grade elementary school students participating in Texas A&M International University’s (TAMIU) Dusty’s Junior University Summer Camp Soap Box Derby Class have been working with TAMIU engineering student mentors to build derby cars as part of TAMIU Dusty’s Junior University Summer Camp Soap Box Derby Class.
The students will showcase their derby car designs and compete in a friendly challenge Thursday, June 27 at 2:30 p.m. at the TAMIU Rec Center Parking Lot, located in the back of the Rec Center. The event is free and open to the public.
The All-American Soap Box Derby is a youth soap box car racing program that has been run in the United States since 1934. World championship finals take place each year in Akron Ohio. Cars competing in this and related events are unpowered, relying completely upon gravity to move.
