STEAM That Doesn’t Stop. Ever.
365 Days of Impact. 100% Purpose.
At Let’s Grow STEAMx, we don’t do “once a year.” We do all year. All in. Always forward.
This isn’t just a program—it’s a movement built to meet future leaders where they are, and take them where they never imagined possible. Every season, every workshop, every race is a chance to grow something powerful. Here’s how we roll all year long:
College & Career Readiness
From career expos to real talk about “what’s next,” we help future leaders connect their dreams to real-world opportunities.
Mentorship & Mock Interviews
We bring in professionals, leaders, and local heroes to coach, prep, and pour into our future leaders—because first impressions matter.
Coding & Engineering Camps
Future leaders get hands-on with tech and tools, designing, building, and leveling up their STEAM skills.
Gravity Racing Workshops
It’s full throttle learning—where physics, teamwork, and thrill collide in the world of soap box derby.
We’re not just imagining a better future. We’re building it
One workshop, one race, one future leader at a time.
This is how leaders are made. All day. Every day. All year.
Let’s Grow STEAMx hosts two signature Programs
River City Race Program (RCRP)
Youth College and Career Readiness Program (Ages 10-18)
Our College and Career Readiness Program provides students with the year-round resources they need to succeed in their educational and career endeavors, whether you go on to college, technical school, or into a career.
Let’s Grow STEAMx began as an effort to help our youth connect what they were learning in school to the “real world.” We knew that STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) subjects were in high demand in the global workforce, and we wanted to ensure that our youth could discover and tap into the STEAM-related activities, businesses, and opportunities available to them in the Greater Columbus area and beyond.

River City Race Program (RCRP) (Ages 7-17)
The RCRP gives students the chance to become real race car drivers – in cars that they build themselves! Our soap box racers get up close and personal with their race cars, reverse-engineering them to understand how they’re built, and then putting them back together to compete against each other in our Soap Box Derby!
Youth College and Career Readiness Program (Ages 10-18)
Our College and Career Readiness Program provides students with the year-round resources they need to succeed in their educational and career endeavors, whether you go on to college, technical school, or into a career.
River City Race Program (RCRP)
At RCRP, we don’t just talk about STEAM—we strap in and live it.
This is where future leaders become real-deal gravity car drivers, taking the wheel of soap box cars they build with their own hands. We’re talking tools, teamwork, and torque—every bolt, every turn, every thrill.
It’s not just about racing.
It’s about confidence, creativity, and control.
It’s about owning your journey from the inside out.
Because once you build it, you believe it.
And once you race it? You’ll never forget it.
Built by Hand. Driven by Heart.
