Dominando la Nascar: un año de conocimientos y estrategias sobre carreras

Students will learn about Nascar’s history, famous drivers, race car mechanics, pit crews, race strategies, and race tracks. They'll also explore how Nascar cars are built for speed and safety.

Key topics include Nascar’s history, driver profiles, car design, race strategy, pit stop teamwork, track types, and the science behind racing.

The class meets once a week for an hour over Zoom. Each session includes an introduction to the topic, a main interactive activity, and a wrap-up discussion. Students will work on fun projects like designing cars or race tracks, researching drivers, or simulating pit stops.

I will use a combination of slides, video clips, and fun hands-on activities. Students will work on creative project and engage in discussions to deepen their understanding of Nascar.

My teaching style is interactive, engaging, and fun. I love to incorporate games, projects, and videos to make the learning experience exciting and dynamic.

Learners will interact with me throughout the class via discussions, project feedback, and Q&A sessions. They’ll also participate in interactive games, design challenges, and group discussions.
