Robby D. Saint

"The Xtreme Vehicle Challenge" is a county-wide program developed by Saint to help at-risk high school physics and physical science students rev up their comprehension of the connection between science and everyday life. Scientific principles such as Newton's Laws of Motion: pressure, force, velocity and acceleration are brought to life through the hands-on designing, building and racing of CO2 dragsters, 4-wheel drive monster trucks, solid fuel model rockets and mouse-trap powered cars. Each year, 400 students from eight high schools are taken out of everyday classroom settings and placed in a more creative environment where they are encouraged to apply ingenuity and learn problem-solving skills through this real world, project-based learning program.
