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, our teaching artists will guide students through the process of creating a functioning racing organization over one school year. The program is focused on more than just the technical process of building a car, but what it takes to develop an entire racing team as 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 professional skills earlier in life. A thread of social-emotional development topics will also be included, and workshops will be incorporated to ensure that we address the needs of our students holistically. Through shared experiences, students will learn the connection between car building and race production; including the complex structure of professionals that work in a range of different careers to make an organization thrive.

​

Field trips, guest speakers, and opportunities to shadow professionals in their fields of interest give our students immersive experiences in real-world settings . Additionally, internship opportunities as well as a continued professional career pathway through Alfred State College’s Motorsports Program are available to our alumni.
