Soap Box Derby Team

The Soap Box Derby Team is an enthusiastic and hardworking team of students who design, build, and race a gravity-powered car in the South Bronx Soap Box Derby Competition. Through hands-on learning and teamwork, the students learn about engineering, physics, safety, and problem-solving as they assemble and test their derby car. From fine-tuning the steering to painting the final design, every part of the car reflects the team’s creativity and collaboration. On race day, they proudly represent their school as they speed down the track—powered by determination and teamwork.  The coaches are eager to support the students throughout the process, fostering creative thinking, promoting safe practices, and encouraging collaboration as ideas are transformed into a fully functional race car.
