Our eight (8) module curriculum is equal parts education and exercise, all centered around a bike. Flexible lesson plans are designed to be used in a variety of settings including school day, after school, as well as summer camps.
Our curriculum aligns with state STEM standards, including NGSS, and incorporates a pre/post testing element that supports with outcome-based reporting.
