What Is the STEM BMX Kit?
STEM BMX is flexible and can be implemented in classroom settings, after-school enrichment programs, and summer camp models. This program is designed for elementary and middle school levels. Participating students receive a STEM education while simultaneously learning the science behind the sport of BMX. In addition, each participant receives a free one-day membership to USA BMX.
The inclusion of BMX racing into the Olympic Games in 2008 has captured the popularity of the sport of BMX Racing to this level. From this internal exposure, USA BMX has experienced a growth in membership to over 70,000 youth across North America. The organization sanctions over 14,000 races each year at 380 BMX member tracks.
The USA BMX Foundation, the non-profit arm of USA BMX, has developed a new youth program to attract more kids to the sport and to promote the positive virtues of BMX racing through a formal (STEM-based) education program. The program is supported by Free Agent, one of the largest BMX companies in the world and home to Olympic Gold Medalist, Maris Strombergs, and Olympic Bronze Medalist, Donny Robinson.
