Faces of the "500" Summer Camp
Faces of the "500" is a 5-day immersive experience for students in grades 2nd-4th (ages 7-10) designed to spark curiosity and a sense of belonging at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. By connecting the “magic” of racing traditions with hands-on STEAM exploration, we aim to help every camper see themselves as a future member of a professional racing team. Each day, campers will be introduced to a different “face” of the Indianapolis 500, combining historical context with modern STEAM applications.
Racing Careers Summer Camp
Racing Careers camp allows 6th-8th grade students to step into the world of racing as rookie Team Owners. Throughout the week, they will manage every aspect of a simulated racing season—from forming their brand and attracting sponsorships to tracking a budget, building and modifying a drag race car, and overcoming unexpected challenges. Each day introduces campers to specific careers on a professional team, providing insight into the skills needed to succeed in roles beyond the driver. The week culminates in a presentation and car demonstration detailing the team’s success and the obstacles conquered.
Robo Racers Summer Camp
Robo Racers camp immerses 5th-8th grade students in the exciting future of racing, where they will design, build, and code a custom autonomous LEGO robot. Teams will learn sensor-based coding to guide their creations around a complex racecourse, competing head-to-head for the fastest lap time. Develop your brand identity, master programming, and vie for victory in the ultimate “Innovation 500” autonomous challenge!
Home School Days
Homeschool Days at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum are designed to complement your lessons and teach your kids about the connection between racing and fields like science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
Homeschool Days feature a variety of self guided and instructor-led activities with a primary focus on STEAM-related topics as well as ample time to view the Museum’s 10 distinct galleries. With 80,000 square feet to explore, there’s so much to learn!
