About QC NSBE Jr.
Our chapter currently has two Ten80 Racing Challenge teams; Middle School and High School. We will add more teams this academic year 2015-2016; the number of additional teams will depend on the total number of members.
A little about us:
- We start each meeting with a 10 minute Math Drill worksheet that will be corrected and reviewed
- We will work on documentation, posters (visual aids), car designs, elevator speeches, and more
- Each meeting we will have a light snack or pizza depending on the length of the meeting
- We order two chapter t shirts per year; and a polo shirt for competition presentations
- We refer to each other as NSBE FAMILY as we be-lieve it takes a village to do anything!
