Program Overview
Throughout the course of one academic year, high school students will build a high-performance Factory Five vehicle from the ground up. Using a project-based curriculum created by WCP, a teacher will guide the students on their journey of learning through every aspect of the process. The program is focused on more than simply the mechanics of the build, but what it takes to develop an entire racing team—a business. WCP students will participate in activities and classes designed to introduce them to an array of fields including marketing, journalism, video production, and public relations—allowing the exploration of previously undiscovered areas of strength and opportunities for growth. A thread of social-emotional development topics will also be included and workshops will be incorporated to ensure that we’re addressing the needs of the whole student. Through shared experiences, students will understand the connection between car building and race production; including the complex structure of professionals that work in a range of different careers. Field trips, guest speakers, and opportunities to shadow professionals in their fields of interest will keep students engaged and excited to participate. Additionally, internship opportunities, as well as a continued professional career path through Alfred State College’s Motorsports Program are available.
