Math & Science Teachers Rejoice!
Plan your next field trip to Xtreme Indoor Karting and participate in the most exciting science-based experience in South Florida. Our go-karting and physics classroom sessions provide an unforgettable program featuring speed, inertia, friction, mathematics and hands-on experimentation with go karts and other science instruments.
Students will learn hands-on that a car is a laboratory of force, motion, and energy and that safe driving is a skill that requires a merging of science and sharp reflexes behind the wheel. Through this Xtreme program the students will get an opportunity to practice in real-life situations in go-karts – on the track!

Broward County Public Schools Recommendation:
The School Board of Broward County recognizes that both drivers education and science instruction would be enhanced with this opportunity. Anyone who drives understands that the application of math and science are needed to promote to the skill of driving. The car is a laboratory of force, motion, and energy. Safe driving is a skill that requires a merging of science behind the vehicle and opportunities to practice them in real-life. This is what makes Xtreme Indoor Karting a perfect classroom for hands on instruction. Xtreme allows students to explore the science and the skills required and also allows students to develop the concept and apply it. Xtreme really is “Where the Rubber meets the Road” in education.
To assist students in this endeavor, a curriculum rich in physics has been developed by Dr. JP Keener who is the Director of Science Education for the School Board of Broward County. This curriculum has been successfully utilized by students across Broward County and it continues to grow as it reaches more educators.
Additionally, the Drivers Education program, currently under the direction of Kyle Dailey, utilizes the physics programs developed by the National Science Foundation. These programs use NASCAR as the instrumental focus for physics demonstrations. The Drivers education course primarily use physics knowledge to assist with stopping distances, traction, and maneuverability and then applies them to the track using real cars. All students can benefit from the concept development.
