About Full Throttle STEM
Full Throttle STEM® is a middle school and high school STEM initiative centered on physics, math, and Modeling and Simulations (M&S) applied to the sport of racing. It provides students with relevant learning opportunities and challenges their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. The Full Throttle STEM content reflects the engineering challenges that Air Force engineers currently face. Students participating in Full Throttle STEM activities utilize some of the same software tools relied upon by Department of Defense (DoD) scientists and engineers.
