Park Competes in AVAM’s 2025 Kinetic Sculpture Race

Category:

On Saturday, Park competed in the American Visionary Art Museum’s annual Kinetic Sculpture race through downtown Baltimore. It was a beautiful day to trek 15 miles through city streets and parks, mud and sand obstacles, and even (capsize) into the harbor.

Julie Rogers’s Engineering for the Kinetic Sculpture Race class worked all year on creating their “Bear Necessities” sculpture for this year’s Play themed race. The team, made up of students, teachers, and parents, really did come to play this year, cruising through all stages of the race except for the water entry… where a dramatic turn of events rewarded the team the infamous “Golden Flipper” Award. The New York Times also featured Park’s entry in their coverage of the event! Congratulations to the entire team (and their supportive family and friends) on another successful race day!
